After a four-year probe, federal agents investigating President Biden's son Hunter believe they have gathered enough evidence to charge him with tax crimes and making a false statement related to a gun purchase, people familiar with the case told The Washington Post.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss, a Trump appointee, will now have to decide whether to charge Hunter Biden, the people said. The investigation began with agents looking into Biden's finances in relation to his consulting work overseas, and over time began focusing on whether he reported all of his income and lied about his drug use on gun purchase paperwork in 2018, people familiar with the matter told the Post.
