Hunter Biden Says He’s Being Investigated For Possible Tax Crimes

Federal prosecutors in Delaware are investigating Hunter Biden for potential tax crimes, he said in a statement issued Wednesday through his father’s presidential transition team.

“I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs,” Biden said in the statement.

“I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.” A source familiar with the investigation told The Daily Caller News Foundation that the investigation began in 2018, which would have been months before Joe Biden launched his presidential campaign. CNN reported that the probe centers on Biden’s business dealings in China.
