View attachment 600766
Federal prosecutors have filed tax charges against Hunter Biden, a second criminal case against the US president's son.
The indictment alleges he "engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 Million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019".
The nine charges include failure to file and pay taxes, false tax return and evasion of assessment.
Federal prosecutors allege Hunter Biden "spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills".
Prosecutors allege that Hunter Biden instead spent his money on "drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature".
The indictment says that the president's son "individually received more than $7 million in total gross income" between 2016 and mid-October 2020, but "willfully failed to pay his 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 taxes on time, despite having access to funds to pay some or all of these taxes".
The president's son allegedly evaded at least $1.4m in taxes while funding an "extravagant lifestyle".
