Federal agents see chargeable tax, gun-purchase case against Hunter Biden

[former9thward]

Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a Trump appointee, must decide whether to charge the son of the current president

Federal agents investigating President Biden’s son Hunter have gathered what they believe is sufficient evidence to charge him with tax crimes and a false statement related to a gun purchase, according to people familiar with the case. The next step is for the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, a Trump administration holdover, to decide on whether to file such charges, these people said.

The investigation into Hunter Biden began years ago, and became a central focus for then-president Donald Trump during his unsuccessful 2020 reelection effort. Initially, the investigation centered around Hunter Biden’s finances related to overseas business ties and consulting work. Over time, investigators with multiple agencies focused closely on whether he did not report all of his income, and whether he lied on gun purchase paperwork in 2018, according to the people familiar with the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing case.

Agents determined months ago they had assembled a viable criminal case against the younger Biden. But it is ultimately up to prosecutors at the Justice Department, not agents, to decide whether to file charges in cases where prosecutors believe the evidence is strong enough to lead to a likely conviction at trial.

2. No one is above the law

If Hunter committed a crime, he should answer for it, period.

3. They should bring their charges, Hunter gets his due process.

If after all the investigating this is the worst they come up with then regardless of whether he is convicted of these two charges, it is clear that the whole overseas corruption, laptop, etc. is bullshit.

4. Yeah not that big of a deal... should see a plea bargain and some probation. Done.

6. Suddenly, gunz are bad? News to me. And taxes? Tfg never revealed

His, so, if he gets indicted for tax fraud, let's pass the same judgment on America's most famous fraudster. Tfg.

7. Can we then also see tax evasion charges against the Trump spawn?

If Hunter broke the law then he must face the consequences - but isn’t that also true of the TFGs kids?

9. Seriously people with Ak war weapons and they are investigating paper work for a gun?

[Straw Man]

14. Paper work?

Lying on the background check (Form 4473) is a felony, and it should be. The days of "lie and buy" are over, which is the legacy of the Brady Bill. As a gun owner and a proponent of gun rights in general, I find this particular measure to be reasonable and effective.

If they have a legitimate case, they should pursue it. If nothing else, it will make the MAGATS finally shut up about "Hunter, Hunter, Hunter."

11. The same reporter

Published the recent poorly sourced Matt Gaetz story and the Hillary story in 2016.

He has a history of “leaks” hurting Dems right before elections.

13. Clean miss since

neither is Trump, but there have been plenty of reports that the DOJ won't bring charges against Trump right now due to their so-called "60-day rule" and the midterms looming.
