Hunter Biden will make his first court appearance on January 11 in a tax fraud case that accuses him of evading more than $1 million in taxes while blowing money on drugs, escorts, luxury hotels, exotic cars and more.
The disgraced eldest son is expected to face three felony charges and six misdemeanor tax charges during a trial in US District Court in Los Angeles.
Biden, 53, was charged earlier this month with one felony count of tax evasion for his 2018 personal taxes and two felony counts of filing false returns — one also for his 2018 personal taxes and another for his corporate taxes on behalf of his company Owasco, PC.
The six misdemeanors he faces are failure to pay and failure to file charges for tax years 2016 to 2019.
President Biden’s son “engaged in a four-year scheme to avoid paying at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019,” special counsel David Weiss wrote in a 56-page indictment filed by the Central District of California. on Dec. 7
Hunter Biden allegedly “spent millions of dollars on a lavish lifestyle instead of paying his tax bills,” Weiss said in court papers.
He spent cash on “drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothes, and other personal items, in short, everything but his taxes,” according to the indictment.
Hunter Biden is expected to appear in court on January 11.
The scandal-clad first son used a large sum of money – about $189,000 – for “adult entertainment” including more than $27,000 in payments to porn sites that he used a business line of credit to obtain as well as $10,000 for sex club memberships he wrote off as “club memberships golf,” court documents state.
Biden threw another $680,000 in payments to various women “who were either romantically involved with [him] or otherwise perform personal service” to the first son.
He did all this while avoiding paying taxes to the government, according to the indictment.
Biden faces up to 17 years in prison if convicted of all charges.
He has already been charged with three felony counts related to the false statements he made when buying a firearm and faces a maximum of 15 years in prison in the case. He has pleaded not guilty to all three charges in the weapons case.
The charges were brought against Biden after a plea deal failed over the summer in a Delaware courtroom.
