I'm surprised none of the usual Trumpanzees have spammed the forum with this story yet:
It'll be interesting to see where this goes. Probably nowhere serious, but still... gotta let the process play out.
Hunter Biden's taxes under investigation by US attorney's office in Delaware
President-elect Joe Biden’s transition announced Wednesday that his son, Hunter, is being investigated for his taxes by the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware.
Hunter Biden was the focus of Republican complaints during the campaign for business dealings with Ukraine and China. But Hunter Biden hasn’t been charged, and two Republican-led congressional committees in September found no wrongdoing by Joe Biden.
Political adversaries including President Donald Trump accused the former vice president of benefitting from his son’s business. But Joe Biden denied any illegal or unethical dealings with his son.
Hunter Biden said Wednesday that he learned Tuesday that federal prosecutors were investigating his tax affairs.
“I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors,” Hunter Biden said in a statement.
Federal investigators had served a round of subpoenas, including to Hunter Biden on Tuesday, as part of an investigation that centers on his business dealings, according to The Associated Press. The investigation regards "potential tax fraud crimes," and had been going on at least a year before President-elect Biden announced his candidacy, the AP reported. The information was attributed to two people familiar with the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing probe.
