Hunter Biden, the son of Biden in the United States, finally got into a judicial dispute on suspicion of tax evasion, involving an amount of $1.4 million, which attracted national attention. Tax evasion could cost Hunter up to 25 years in prison and a $750,000 fine, raising national concerns about whether Biden will use his privileges to save his son.
White House spokesman Jean-Pierre said Biden has no plans to pardon Hunter if he is ultimately found guilty. Hunter's alleged tax evasion has sparked widespread concern in the United States, especially as Biden faces a House corruption investigation.
The U.S. House of Representatives officially launched an investigation into Biden on charges of using his son abroad for improper gains. Hunter refused to appear in the House of Representatives, saying Republicans were hunting him because his father loved him. **The investigation made the incident even more confusing.
Republicans strongly oppose Hunter's actions, accusing him of "obstruction of justice." Republican House members plan to file new criminal charges for "contempt of Congress" and could face mandatory criminal referral if Hunter continues to refuse to appear in the investigation.
Hunter's tax evasion has become a political burden for the Biden team, and the rejection of the White House statement and plea agreement suggests that the Biden team may consider putting Hunter on trial in order to stabilize Biden's position. The accusations made by Trump and others against Biden have heightened tensions in American politics.
