The story that just keeps giving.
I expect that this will become front-and-center news once the Republicans take over Congress.
An attorney for Hunter Biden responded to reports claiming the president’s son may be charged soon over alleged tax crimes.
“As is proper and legally required, we believe the prosecutors in this case are diligently and thoroughly weighing not just evidence provided by agents, but also all the other witnesses in this case , including witnesses for the defense,” Chris Clark, Hunter Biden’s lawyer, said in a statement to the Washington Times on Friday in response to the reports.
Reports suggested that U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss is nearing a decision on whether to charge Hunter Biden and is in discussions with the Department of Justice (DOJ) on how to proceed. Namely, the Washington Post, citing unnamed law enforcement officials, alleged that federal agents have found enough evidence to charge Hunter Biden with tax crimes and making a false statement relating to the purchase of a firearm.
Clark did not say whether he believes his client will be charged, stating: “ That is the job for prosecutors. They should not be pressured, rushed, or criticized for doing this job .”
Responding to the Washington Post, Clark noted that “ it is a federal felony for a federal agent to leak information about a Grand Jury investigation such as this one .”
“Any agent you cite as a source in [the Post’s] article apparently has committed such a felony,” he said. “We expect the Department of Justice will diligently investigate and prosecute such bad actors.”
