Oh boy, here we go again! Seems like the never-ending saga of Hunter Biden’s tax troubles just got a jolt of energy, as prosecutors are kicking things up a notch in California. That’s right, folks, the grand jury in Los Angeles is getting in on the action, issuing subpoenas left and right to folks tied to Hunter’s business dealings. And get this, one of those folks is none other than James Biden, President Joe Biden’s own brother! Talk about a family affair, huh?
This drama is heating up after the U.S. attorney for the Central District of California spilled the beans to Congress about special counsel David Weiss reaching out to him. Apparently, Weiss wanted to tap into the California scene for some evidence-gathering fun. But here’s the twist – the California U.S. attorney, Martin Estrada, who was appointed by Joe himself, wasn’t too keen on joining forces with Weiss. Cue the drama llama!
New: Special counsel David Weiss's investigation of Hunter Biden appears to be entering a new phase with grand jury activity in California.
Weiss had called the US attorney there in Sept, and had previously conducted interviews in LA on the tax issue.https://t.co/p4ocv5F4oV— Sarah Bedford (@sarahcbedford) November 16, 2023
The plot thickens as we learn that the IRS has been keeping a close eye on Hunter’s tax shenanigans for quite some time now. Whistleblowers spilled the tea, revealing that charges were being mulled over for tax misdeeds stretching all the way back to 2016. But hold your horses, folks! Apparently, Weiss was facing some roadblocks when it came to Californian jurisdiction. Before he landed his gig as special counsel, the dude couldn’t just go around indicting people willy-nilly outside of Delaware. The struggle is real, folks.
And let’s not forget the cherry on top of this tax trouble sundae – Hunter’s own defense team is pulling out all the stops. Hunter’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, is making a fuss, asking to subpoena none other than former President Donald Trump and some other bigwigs from the Justice Department. Why, you ask? Well, they want to build a case around the idea that the Trump administration had it out for Hunter and, by extension, his pops. It’s like a soap opera, folks – you just can’t make this stuff up!
It’s like watching a real-life political thriller unfold before our eyes, and the Hunter Biden tax saga is far from over. So grab your popcorn, folks, ’cause this drama is just getting started!
