Biden News: Tax investigation against Hunter Biden

 

Biden: It is about tax offenses and a diamond from China: The US prosecutor has announced that they are investigating the son of the future president, Hunter Biden.

For conservative US television stations like Fox News, the story is a godsend: Hunter Biden, the son of the future president, is said to have evaded taxes on deals with China. The tax authorities have been targeting the Biden son since 2018.

 

Gift diamond disappeared

It is not clear exactly what tax offenses the Delaware Attorney General is accusing Hunter Biden of. CNN legal expert Evan Perez suspects it could have something to do with gifts from Chinese business partners. "Post a rendezvous with a Chinese investor, Biden's son was gifted with a 2.8-carat diamond. It is not entirely clear what became of the diamond. In any case, this is part of the investigation."

 

Hunter Biden stated in writing that he was taking the matter seriously but was confident that a professional examination would show that he was not at fault. Biden News - The public prosecutor said that the investigation had only now been made public to prevent it from becoming the subject of the election campaign and influencing the outcome of the election.

 

Hunter Biden has been criticized for a long time

Hunter Biden was repeatedly the target of Donald Trump in the election campaign. The outgoing president repeatedly accused his successor, Joe Biden, of deliberately preventing corruption investigations against the Ukrainian gas company Burisma and his son as vice-president. Biden's son was on the Burisma board of trustees.

 

Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana demanded full clarification on Fox News: "This is serious. The accusations are money washing and tax deceit. Both Mr. Biden must investigate the matter fully - they owe it to the American people."

 

The dilemma for the future president

Things could get tricky for future President Joe Biden. His future attorney general may well have to investigate his son Hunter.

 

One has nothing to do with the other, said New Hampshire Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan on CNN. "Biden has stated the emphasis of detaching the law Department from political influence. Biden News - The prosecution is investigating. Hunter Biden has said he takes this seriously - and he must."

Lots of established people, lots of premieres

The designated US President Biden has put together his team. He relies on experience - and diversity.

 

Malice from Trump

Of course, still-US President Trump also got involved in the debate. He posted a quote from a New York Post columnist: Ten percent of voters would have changed their minds if they had known about Hunter Biden. But - added Trump - he won the election anyway.
