Hunter Biden’s argument is undermined by prosecutors who provide proof of his continuous criminal activity following his battles with addiction. David Weiss’s most recent indictment refutes his assertion that his legal troubles are only related to his struggle with drug addiction.
Simple and Direct: Weiss and his team argue in a 56-page court document that Hunter only submitted some unfiled tax forms after sobering up and did not pay any money to pay off his outstanding obligation for those years.

“Notably, in 2020, well after he had regained his sobriety, and when he finally filed his outstanding 2016, 2017, and 2018 Forms 1040, the Defendant did not direct any payments toward his tax liabilities for each of those years,” The Daily Caller has highlighted the indictment, which is located on page 16.
“At the same time, the Defendant spent large sums to maintain his lifestyle from January through October 15, 2020. In that period, he received financial support from Personal Friend totaling approximately $1.2 million. The financial support included hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments for, among other things, housing, media relations, accountants, lawyers, and his Porsche,” the indictment adds.
Between 2016 and 2018, Hunter battled addiction, spending almost $70,000 trying to kick his urges for crack cocaine and alcohol. Surprisingly, from 2016 to 2019, authorities claim he spent $4.9 million on drugs, prostitution, and ostentatious goods rather than utilizing the money to settle his tax obligations. Hunter allegedly began his sobriety journey in May 2019 despite a rejected plea agreement this summer.
“The Defendant engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019, from in or about January 2017 through in or about October 15, 2020, and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns in or about February 2020,” the indictment says.
“Between 2016 and October 15, 2020, the Defendant individually received more than $7 million in total gross income. This included an excess of $1.5 million in 2016, $2.3 million in 2017, $2.1 million in 2018, $1 million in 2019 and approximately $188,000 from January through October 15, 2020. In addition, from January through October 15, 2020, the Defendant received approximately $1.2 million in financial support to fund his extravagant lifestyle.”
The special prosecutor, Weiss, has expanded the scope of his Hunter probe from Delaware to California. The new allegations in California include submitting a false or fraudulent tax return, failing to file and pay taxes, and evading a tax assessment. It’s interesting to note that the president’s son was not previously prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney for Central California, who is connected to Vice President Kamala Harris.
The efforts of the Justice Department to dismiss all charges against Hunter were thwarted by courageous IRS whistleblowers. They made public a troubling web of political meddling that obstructed their research and may have included President Joe Biden.

Hunter and his legal team have gone on the attack in recent weeks, proposing to appear before House Republicans on the understanding that the public would be allowed to attend the session. He has sought a “meritless” subpoena for former President Donald Trump and authored an opinion piece in which he accuses several Republicans of taking undue advantage of his legal issues for personal benefit. President Biden, who regularly snaps at advisors who advise him to keep his distance from his troublesome son, claims that the legal drama is “consuming” him.
