The FBI and IRS are investigating Hunter for years of unpaid taxes, and his business dealings overseas, some of which took place while his father served as vice president.<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe question is: What is the Biden approach here?\u201d Schweizer said. \u201cClearly, Hunter Biden has legal troubles. He owed back taxes. There\u2019s going to probably be some legal consequence for that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Schweizer said that the outcome of the investigation may be less of a problem for the Biden family than what could come after: Hunter Biden being put on trial for tax fraud. President Biden will likely go to great lengths to keep any potential charges from heading to trial, Schweizer said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI think the nightmare scenario for the Biden family is that there is actually a trial. I fully expect that Hunter Biden is going to be indicted, but I think there\u2019s going to be a very aggressive move by the Biden family and the Biden team to reach some sort of settlement agreement,\u201d Schweizer said. \u201cSo maybe additional fines, maybe even jail time for Hunter Biden. But they do not want an extended trial because that would then introduce evidence and communications and information involving the president of the United States. And I think they want to avoid that at all costs.\u201d<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Since the opening of the investigation, over $2 million of Hunter\u2019s back taxes have reportedly been paid off; however, not by him. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/08\/hollywood-lawyer-kevin-morris-paid-off-over-2m-of-hunter-bidens-taxes\/\"><span>The New York Post<\/span><\/a><span>, his \u201csugar brother\u201d Kevin Morris, a Hollywood lawyer, footed the bill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The $2 million sum that is believed to have been paid off is more than twice the amount of tax liability that was originally reported. Schweizer said the misreporting could be a result of spin from sources close to the Bidens, and that the tax liability amount may still fluctuate because of the possibility of Hunter owing taxes on a number of business deals unknown to federal authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThese are back taxes owed on income that the IRS knows about,\u201d he told The Daily Wire. \u201cThere certainly were a lot of deals that the IRS is not completely aware of, so the tax liability may actually be higher. It\u2019s just the IRS doesn\u2019t actually know the full income that Hunter Biden was receiving at this time.\u201d<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On whether Hunter\u2019s tax troubles may eventually implicate President Biden, Schweizer said that the outcome is unclear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHunter Biden collected foreign funds, but he was also paying some of his father\u2019s bills\u2014some of his monthly bills, but also special payments like renovations on Joe Biden\u2019s home in Delaware,\u201d Schweizer said. \u201cNow certainly you\u2019re allowed to give gifts, but only to a certain threshold, and it seems that they cross that threshold.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A laptop belonging to Hunter and left at a computer repair shop in April 2019 contained messages<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/exclusive-joe-biden-turned-corruption-into-the-family-business-new-book-alleges\"> <span>suggesting<\/span><\/a><span> that President Biden has profited from business deals struck by his family members, including Hunter. In 2019, Hunter reportedly wrote in an email to his daughter Naomi that \u201cPop\u201d had laid claim to half of his salary.<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years. It\u2019s really hard. But don\u2019t worry, unlike Pop, I won\u2019t make you give me half your salary.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Schweizer said that Biden may also owe back taxes on financial gifts he received from his son.<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThere\u2019s a very real possibility that Joe Biden has tax liabilities for the funds he received from Hunter Biden. But there\u2019s no indication that is being looked at by this grand jury. And given that it involves a sitting president, I rather doubt that the Department of Justice is going to have any interest in looking into that matter,\u201d Schweizer said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>More troubling than the allegations of tax fraud are the implications of striking deals with Chinese businessmen, Schweizer said. Hunter Biden pursued a number of deals in China, and entities he partly controlled<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/white-house-stands-by-claim-that-hunter-biden-did-not-profit-off-chinese-business-deals-docs-show-his-companies-made-millions\"> <span>received<\/span><\/a><span> millions of dollars from the Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC and its executives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe bigger issue for me is who actually was providing the funds from overseas when it comes to China. You can look at the emails and you can identify the four businessmen that transferred millions of dollars to Hunter Biden,\u201d Schweizer said. \u201cThey all have ties to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence, which makes this, in my mind, a serious national security question, not just a question of whether he paid taxes on that income. And I think that warrants further investigation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this opinion piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the tax fraud investigation into Hunter Biden develops, author and investigative journalist Peter Schweizer believes the worst-case scenario for President Joe Biden is if the case goes to trial.\u00a0Schweizer,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":1482784,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1473498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1473498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/70"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1473498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1473498\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1482784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1473498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1473498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1473498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
