The prosecutor’s office opened a new criminal case against Hunter BidenMedia organizations such as CNN announced this Thursday that he is the son of US President Joe Biden. The charges made in the investigations are not yet known because court documents have not yet been made public. However, NBC portal stated that these may be related to tax issues.
Biden’s 53-year-old son currently indicted on three charges related to the purchase and possession of weaponsWhich is illegal when it comes to a person with addiction and acquired it in 2018.
The US House of Representatives, which is controlled by Republicans, is also investigating Biden within the framework of the investigations opened against his father due to allegations of irregularities such as influence peddling in business life to benefit family members. As part of these investigations, the president’s son was summoned to testify before Congress on Wednesday, December 13.
Last October, Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty in court in Delaware to accusations that he bought a gun by lying that he did not use drugs in 2018, although he later admitted that he did not use drugs. He was struggling with crack addiction..
The charges against the Democratic president’s son are the result of an investigation opened in 2018 during the Donald Trump Administration (2017-2021) and used by the former president himself, who is now running for the Republican presidential nomination. He is attacking Biden, whom he may face in the 2024 elections.
The investigation, which had already lasted five years, led to an agreement this year between Hunter Biden’s defense and the investigative team led by Trump-appointed prosecutor David Weiss that could put an end to the judicial drama. But that deal collapsed and Hunter Biden now faces a trial that will likely take place in the middle of the November 2024 election campaign.
