Biden responds to studies of potential tax crime by Son Hunter

For the first time, President Joe Biden was responding to reports that federal prosecutors may have enough evidence to charge his son Hunter Biden for tax crimes and perjury after lying about his history of drug abuse while buying a gun.

Hunter Biden bought the gun at a time when he had publicly admitted he was struggling with an addiction to crack cocaine and is now under investigation because federal law requires gun buyers to swear they are addicted to drugs CNN.

President Biden says he is “proud of his son” for overcoming and fighting drug addiction amid possible indictments against Hunter

In an interview with the network’s Jake Tapper, the president said he’s proud of his son for confronting and overcoming his battle with addiction and “building a new life.”

“This is a child who – not a child, he’s a grown man – he became addicted to drugs, as has happened to many families. He overcame that. He’s built a new life,” Biden said.

The president went on to say that Hunter’s 2021 memoir Beautiful Things told Tapper he was “proud of him.”

“I’m confident he is – what he’s saying and doing is consistent with what’s happening,” the president said. “And for example he wrote a book about his problems and was open about it. I am proud of him.”

President Biden spoke specifically about the gun purchase incident, saying, “Didn’t know anything about it.”

“That thing with a gun – I didn’t know anything about that. But it turns out that when he applied to buy a gun, what happened was that he — I guess you’re asked — I guess you’re asked a question, do you do drugs or do you do drugs?” He said no. And he wrote about saying no in his book,” Biden said.

However, Biden said he has “a lot of faith in[his]son” and “he’s on the right track and has been for a couple of years.”

“So I have a lot of faith in my son,” he continued. “I love him and he’s on the right track and has been for a couple of years. And I’m just so proud of him.”

FBI, IRS, Department of Justice, Federal Attorney’s office taking action against Hunter Biden

The FBI, IRS, the Justice Department and the Delaware Attorney’s Office have reportedly pooled all of their resources to build a case against the president’s 52-year-old son, the outlet previously reported.

Investigators and prosecutors argue they already have enough evidence to press charges, but the final decision rests with Delaware US Attorney David Weiss and likely won’t be made until after next month’s midterm elections.

A Hunter Biden attorney did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.
