Hunter Biden, the embattled son of President Joe Biden, made a daring trip to a federal courthouse in Los Angeles to face the music for his alleged nine counts of tax evasion.

Special counsel David Weiss, who has been hot on the heels of Hunter since 2019, dropped the hammer with three felonies and six misdemeanors in November. The charges span a spankin’ four-year period and include failure to pay taxes, failure to file taxes, and filing false returns. Talk about a financially reckless joyride!
Weiss didn’t hold back, alleging that Hunter was living it up like a rockstar, splurging on drugs, high-end hotels, flashy cars, and luxurious threads, all while giving Uncle Sam the cold shoulder to the tune of a whopping $1.4 million. Who knew tax evasion could be so glamorously scandalous?
But here’s the kicker: Hunter didn’t even start coughing up the dough until 2020, and thanks to a helping hand from Democratic donor and entertainment lawyer Kevin Morris, he managed to scrape together the funds to keep his lavish lifestyle afloat. Must be nice to have friends in high places!
As if tax evasion wasn’t enough, Hunter’s got a spicy side dish of firearm fraud on his plate, allegedly fibbing about his drug use on a federal form when purchasing a revolver back in 2018. Oops! The first son’s no stranger to trouble, that’s for sure.
In a bold move, Hunter pleaded not guilty to all charges and is even gunning for a dismissal, claiming ol’ Weiss is just playing favorites and has it out for him. But hey, when life gives you tax troubles, why not stir the pot a little more, right?
This story is hotter than a right-wing Twitter feed on election night, so stay tuned for more sizzling updates. Hunter Biden: the gift that keeps on giving!
