President Biden’s Son’s Gun Felony and Tax Charges: What You Need to Know

Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, was charged on Tuesday with a gun felony and tax misdemeanors, according to court documents.

The charges stem from a 2018 incident in which Biden was found to be in possession of a gun while he was traveling to California with a concealed carry permit from Delaware. Biden was not legally allowed to carry a gun in California, and he also failed to declare the gun on his federal tax returns.

Biden is facing one count of violating the Gun Control Act and one count of making a false statement on a federal tax return. He could face up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 on the gun charge, and up to three years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 on the tax charge.

Biden’s attorney, Chris Clark, said that Biden is “innocent of these charges” and that he “looks forward to clearing his name.”

The charges against Biden come at a time when his father is facing increasing scrutiny from Republicans. Some Republicans have accused Biden of using his father’s position to enrich himself, and they have called for Hunter Biden to be investigated.

The Biden administration has denied any wrongdoing by Hunter Biden.

The case against Hunter Biden is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware. A trial date has not yet been set.

Here are some additional details about the charges against Hunter Biden:

• The gun charge against Biden stems from an incident in April 2018, when he was found to be in possession of a .38-caliber handgun while he was traveling to California with a concealed carry permit from Delaware. Biden was not legally allowed to carry a gun in California, and he also failed to declare the gun on his federal tax returns.
• The tax charge against Biden stems from his failure to declare the gun on his federal tax returns. Biden is accused of failing to report the gun as a “firearm” on his 2018 tax return, and he is also accused of failing to report the cost of the gun as a “miscellaneous deduction” on his 2019 tax return.
• Biden is facing up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 on the gun charge, and up to three years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 on the tax charge.
• Biden’s attorney, Chris Clark, has said that Biden is “innocent of these charges” and that he “looks forward to clearing his name.”
