Exactly what Hunter Biden will be charged with is unclear, but according to CNN it’s about gun crime. He has also been investigated for tax offences, namely not having submitted his income tax returns for two years.
This summer, a deal was on the way, in which Biden would plead guilty to tax crimes and then avoid prosecution for gun possession while abusing drugs. However, that agreement never materialized, but Biden’s lawyers claim it stands.
Constant target
Ahead of the 2020 presidential election, Hunter Biden was a constant target of then-President Donald Trump’s campaign. He was then singled out for his alcohol and drug abuse.
In addition, Hunter Biden’s board assignment in a Ukrainian gas company was a hot political issue. Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate the latter, which subsequently led to Trump being impeached.
