Hunter Biden was charged with nine tax-related counts by special counsel David Weiss earlier this month, accusing him of failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2020.
According to the indictment, the younger Biden received millions of dollars from foreign entities and “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle while refusing to pay his taxes.”
Abbe Lowell, Hunter Biden’s attorney, stated that the 56-page indictment contains “no new evidence” and that “based on the facts and the law, if Hunter’s last name was anything other than Biden, the charges in Delaware, and now California, would not have been brought.”
