Prosecutors gathering evidence about Hunter Biden's foreign income: report
By Kelsey Carolan - 03/28/22 11:22 AM EDT

A federal tax investigation into Hunter Biden is ramping up as prosecutors gather more information about his financial dealings abroad, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

Prosecutors from the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware sought more information related to the income Biden received from Ukrainian natural-gas company Burisma Holdings Ltd., a source told the Wall Street Journal. They also questioned one of his associates about his drug and alcohol abuse and spending habits and mental state in 2018.

An investigation into Biden for tax crimes began in 2018 and expanded to include potential violations of foreign lobbying and money laundering rules. His work in Ukraine contributed to President Trump’s first impeachment. Between 2014 and 2019, Hunter Biden served on Burisma’s board and was paid around $50,000 a month, which prompted Trump to urge President Volodymr Zelensky to open up an investigation into his then-opponent Joe Biden.

The US Attorney's office in Delaware are looking into the funds Biden obtained from Burisma and what he did with those funds. There have also been ongoing investigations into Biden's drug and alcohol use, as well as how he spent his money in 2018.

Much of Biden's illicit activity is detailed in his own memoir Beautiful Things, as well as Miranda Divine's Laptop from Hell, which revealed what was found on a laptop abandoned by Biden in a Delaware computer repair shop.

The Wall Street Journal reports that these records are being sought by prosecutors likely in advance of a trial. Prosecutors are primarily concerned with violations of tax law, and whether Biden's dealings with foreign governments and foreign investments have resulted in not adhering to US tax laws. ...
