Hunter Biden Tax Investigation Concludes
Special Counsel David Weiss’s report on Hunter Biden’s tax evasion reveals the businessman failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes over four years. Weiss asserts that Biden’s drug abuse does not excuse his actions, as he knowingly underreported his income and claimed false deductions.
Despite earning millions from business dealings that leveraged his father’s influence, Biden chose to fund his lavish lifestyle rather than pay his taxes. He knowingly lied to his accountants to conceal his personal expenses as business deductions.
The report criticizes President Biden’s pardon of Hunter, calling it “gratuitous and wrong.” Weiss emphasizes that political attacks on prosecutors undermine the criminal justice system and the integrity of public servants making decisions in good faith.
Biden’s history of drug abuse was a factor in his recent conviction on firearms charges. However, the tax case concluded that his addiction did not explain his willful tax avoidance. The report’s release marks the end of a years-long investigation into Hunter Biden’s financial dealings.
