Biden Stands by Son Amidst Potential Federal Charges.
President Joe Biden defended his son Hunter as federal prosecutors are nearing a decision on whether to charge him with tax and firearms violations after a four-year criminal investigation. Federal prosecutors are weighing whether to charge Hunter Biden with two misdemeanor counts for failure to file taxes, a single felony count of tax evasion related to a business expense for one year of taxes, and the gun charge, also a potential felony. Hunter Biden has denied wrongdoing in the tax case, saying that he handled his affairs “legally and appropriately.”
