Hunter Biden is alleged to have committed tax crimes and illegal firearm purchases. FBI investigations found that the president's son can be charged and prosecuted for these crimes.
According to a report published by The Washington Post, federal agents have sufficient evidence against Hunter Biden, who lied in order to acquire a gun, as well as evidence of tax fraud. The FBI "determined months ago that they had built a viable criminal case against the younger Biden," the newspaper stated.
Hunter acquired a handgun in 2018 and lied when filling out federal paperwork. He said he wasn't addicted to drugs the same year when he claimed in his autobiography that he was a crack user at the time.
Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss is conducting the investigation into the case and, based on the evidence, must decide whether to prosecute Joe Biden's son for these offenses. The president's son continues to have legal problems. This case is in addition to the case of compromising data about him and his father, Joe Biden, found on his computer by the FBI.
"It is a federal crime to leak information from an investigation"
While speaking to NBC News, Hunter Biden's attorney, Chris Clark, blamed the FBI for committing a federal crime:
It is a federal felony for a federal agent to leak information about a Grand Jury investigation such as this one. Any agent you cite as a source in your article apparently has committed such a felony. We expect the Department of Justice will diligently investigate and prosecute such bad actors.
In addition, Clark asked that justice be left to run its course without external pressure:
As is proper and legally required, we believe the prosecutors in this case are diligently and thoroughly weighing not just evidence provided by agents, but also all the other witnesses in this case, including witnesses for the defense. That is the job of the prosecutors. They should not be pressured, rushed, or criticized for doing their job.
