Hunter Biden charged with multiple tax crimes

Conviction could lead to 25 years in prison

President Biden's son faces multiple charges in a federal grand jury indictment

Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has been indicted on multiple tax crimes by a federal grand jury, according to court documents unsealed on Thursday.

The indictment alleges that Biden failed to pay taxes on millions of dollars in income from foreign business dealings.

If convicted, Biden faces a maximum of 25 years in prison.

The charges against Biden stem from an investigation by Special Counsel David Weiss, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2021 to investigate Hunter Biden's business dealings.

Weiss's investigation is ongoing, and it is possible that additional charges could be filed against Biden or other individuals.

The charges against Biden are as follows:

• Conspiracy to defraud the United States
• Wire fraud
• Tax fraud

Biden has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is scheduled to appear in court for a hearing on March 2.

The indictment against Biden is a significant development in the ongoing investigation into his business dealings.

If convicted, Biden could face a lengthy prison sentence, and the charges could have a negative impact on his father's presidency.
