U.S. prosecutors are considering hitting President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, with a felony tax evasion charge, a potential felony charge related to the purchase of a firearm, and two misdemeanor charges for failing to file taxes, two sources said according to NBC News.
Two senior law enforcement officials told the publication that there was “growing frustration” inside the FBI that the president’s son has not been charged because the Bureau finished most of its work a year ago and the IRS finished its investigation more than a year ago.
U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, will be the person who decides whether charges are brought against Hunter Biden. No decision has been made, the report said.
An IRS agent alleged this week that the federal government’s criminal investigation into Hunter Biden is being corrupted by lies and politics.
The allegations appeared Wednesday in a letter that the agent’s lawyer, Mark Lytle, sent to leaders of both parties in Congress. Though the letter only says the agent is overseeing the “ongoing and sensitive investigation of a high-profile, controversial subject,” sources confirmed to The Wall Street Journal the investigation into Hunter Biden is the focus of the matter.
The letter identifies the client as an “IRS criminal supervisory special agent” who has already made “legally protected disclosures internally at the IRS, through counsel to the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, and to the Department of Justice, Office of Inspector General.” Now this IRS agent wants to make protected whistleblower disclosures to Congress despite “serious risks of retaliation,” the letter says.
Disclosures made to the government watchdogs “contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee,” “involve failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in the ultimate disposition of the case,” and “detail examples of preferential treatment and politics improperly infecting decisions and protocols that would normally be followed by career law enforcement professionals in similar circumstances if the subject were not politically connected,” according to the letter.
The letter adds: “Some of the protected disclosures contain information that is restricted by statute from unauthorized disclosure to protect taxpayer and tax return information.”
FBI and IRS investigators have been looking into his foreign business dealings, tax affairs, and more. The Washington Post reported in October that federal agents believed they had sufficient evidence to charge the younger Biden with tax crimes and a false statement related to a gun purchase.

So the decision to prosecute is the thinly-disguised signal from Brandon’s puppetmasters that it’s time for him to exit stage left, no harm, no foul.
Taxes owed can be paid with fines.... That goes away
Registering as a foreign agent can be done retroactively... That goes away
Joe comes out and proclaims Hunter made things right.
Firearm case is open and shut,, but only if they decide to pursue it. Form 4473 asks if the purchaser is a user of illegal drugs. Hunter would have had to check ‘no’ in order to buy the pistol. He would have had to fill out the form by hand at the time of the purchase, and he had to sign and date it. It’s all there in his own handwriting.
Biden is supposed to be cracking down on illegal firearm purchases. I’m shocked, shocked I say, that Hunter hasn’t been charged!
That’s a lot of pardons piling up.
US prosecutors are considering a plea deal with a fine for the smallest crime listed. The other investigations will end.
I think it’s clear that Hunter and the other Biden children have lived a messed-up life to put it mildly. It’s no wonder why he turned to drugs. If given the choice, he should roll over on pops and cut him loose. What are they going to do to an 80-year-old man beside make him step down?
Yea, but unless the DOJ lrosecutes...
Been hearing this for a few years now.
Will. Never. Happen.
Prosecutor...appointed by Trump
Well that’s final...There will be no charges.
Special Counsels or BUSTz!!!
Sure, but what about the chicom bribe loot?
Are you seriously comparing the dispensation of justice in this country from 1931 to 2023?
Ironically, it was Joe Biden that introduced the legislation to make lying on a 4473 into a felony punishable by 10 years in prison or $10,000 fine.
Guess which one Hunter pays and all this goes away?
