According to fresh reporting in The Washington Post on Thursday, federal investigators “believe” they have “sufficient evidence to charge” President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden with crimes related to his taxes and falsifying information related to a gun purchase. Citing “people familiar with the case,” WaPo says the “next step is for the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, a Trump administration holdover, to decide on whether to file such charges.”
As Townhall has previously reported, Hunter Biden’s taxes have been the subject of significant scrutiny since the president’s son discovered his finances were being investigated in December 2020. At the time, then-President-Elect Biden characterized the situation as “vicious personal attacks.” Not quite.
When he was made aware of the investigation into his finances, Hunter Biden said he was taking the matter “very seriously” but maintained his confidence “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.” Apparently, that hasn’t been the case.

It turns out that Hunter Biden’s taxes were the subject of an inquiry even before the end of 2020, but the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, heeded advice from investigators to delay action in the federal probe “to avoid taking any actions that could alert the public to the existence of the case in the middle of a presidential election,” as Townhall reported.
