For a while now, Republican leaders have accused Democrats of shielding Hunter Biden from both law enforcement and the media. However, that hasn’t stopped the ongoing investigation.
Many Americans have been waiting to see if federal investigators would reveal charges against the President’s son. If it happens, it could damage Joe Biden’s chances of reelection in 2024.
Now, it seems a big development is coming soon — and it might be very bad timing for Democrats in D.C.
The investigation, led by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, has reportedly reached a “critical stage.” This means that authorities are potentially on the verge of revealing a series of charges.
Hunter Biden has faced this probe since way back in 2018 and due to the long-running investigation, a lot of citizens had given up hope that any progress would be made.
However, the case might’ve just broken, as investigators may finally have what they need. The result could be a landmark trial, which would undoubtedly put POTUS in the spotlight once again.
From Fox News:
Federal investigators are weighing whether to charge Hunter Biden with various tax and foreign lobbying violations, false statements and more, with a former official telling Fox News that an outcome to the case could be ‘imminent.’
That official also told Fox News that renewed focus on the investigation, especially by the media, suggests a disposition, or resolution, may be ‘imminent’ in advance of a possible Republican takeover of the House of Representatives.
That has been a key component to this: the possible Republican victory after the midterm elections are over.
Many GOP leaders have said that if they reclaim the House (and potentially the Senate), they would immediately pursue investigations into the Biden administration, and this includes Hunter as well.
Congressional Republicans have promised to use subpoena power if they get the majority back in Washington. That alone is cause for concern for the Biden family.
The shadow of controversy has surrounded Hunter Biden – and his infamous laptop – for years now, so it feels like charges have been a long time coming. Some doubt they’ll ever come at all.
Even so, it remains true that Hunter faces accusations of tax violations and foreign lobbying violations, and most recently he’s been hit with false statement allegations.
Everything from firearms to drugs appears to be part of the President son’s past, and this doesn’t reflect well on the Biden family. So far, though, Joe has avoided the subject almost entirely.
But he may not be able to avoid it if these charges come down this year.
Key Takeaways:
- The Hunter Biden investigation has reportedly reached a “critical stage.”
- Federal authorities are considering serious charges, including tax and foreign lobbying violations.
- If the GOP reclaims the House, they plan to use subpoena power to push the case forward.
