The anger surrounding the son of US President Joe Biden (81) just doesn’t stop…
Hunter Biden (53) has been charged with several tax crimes. The US Department of Justice said on Thursday evening (local time) that he had not paid federal taxes properly for several years.
He faces up to 17 years in prison!
It’s the second legal trouble for the son US President Joe Biden within a few months.

Hunter Biden is said to have withheld at least $1.4 million
The tax indictment was filed Thursday in a court in California, where Hunter Biden lives. It accuses him of intentionally not paying his taxes for 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 on time – even though he had the necessary funds to do so.
BUT: Instead of paying his taxes, he is said to have squandered millions on his extravagant lifestyle. According to the Justice Department, Hunter Biden is said to have withheld at least $1.4 million (1.3 million euros).
Hunter Biden faces up to 25 years in prison for illegal gun possession
It wasn’t until September that Hunter Biden was charged with illegal possession of weapons been. He faces up to 25 years in prison for this!

Biden always stood by his son in public
In 2021, “Hunt,” as his father likes to call him, published a biography. He described how he fell into drug orgies that sometimes lasted a whole week. Or how he picked up a crack pipe every 15 minutes and invited a street dealer to live in his apartment.
But Biden continued to stick by his son in public. He and First Lady Jill kept saying, “We love Hunter. We are proud of him. He didn’t do anything wrong.”
BUT: The new charges against his son are also likely to damage the US President in his election campaign. The “Hunter Biden Cause” is dividing the USA – and for conservatives the name has long been a rallying cry.
In September there were even Investigations have been initiated against the US President because of his son’s dubious dealings and possible connections.
It can now also be expected that the Republicans will exploit the tax charges against Hunter Biden in their election campaign.
