Feds Believe They Have Enough to Charge Hunter Biden With Tax, Gun Crimes

Federal investigators believe they have sufficient evidence to charge President Joe Biden's son Hunter with tax crimes and making a false statement about a gun purchase, and now it's up to a Delaware U.S. attorney, who was nominated by then-President Donald Trump, to take the next steps, according to sources close to the case.

The reports come years after the investigation into the president's son began in 2018 initially centering around his finances about his work overseas, such as with the Ukraine energy giant Burisma, but have shifted to whether he failed to report his income and if he lied on his paperwork in 2018 about whether he was a drug user when buying a gun, reports The Washington Post, quoting anonymous sources.

The case is in the hands of U.S. Attorney David Weiss in Delaware, whom Trump nominated in 2017, while Attorney General Merrick Garland says there will be no political pressure in the case.

Weiss' spokeswoman declined to comment, as did the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the IRS, but Hunter Biden's attorney Chris Clark accused federal investigators of leaking the information on the investigation.
