Hunter Biden Indicted on Nine Charges, Faces Up to 17 Years in Prison

Indictment Sparks Political Controversy and Speculation, Makes Hunter 'Untouchable' to House Investigators

Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has been indicted on nine charges by DOJ Special Counsel David Weiss for a 'four-year scheme' of not paying federal income taxes and filing false tax reports from January 2017 to October 2020.
Several 2024 White House hopefuls have criticized the timing of the indictment, suggesting it is politically motivated to sideline Joe Biden and choose a new candidate for the 2024 election.
Hunter Biden has mocked the allegations and investigations into his family's business dealings, calling them a 'criminal enterprise' and accusing his critics of trying to 'kill' him and 'destroy' his father's presidency.
Fox Business host Larry Kudlow and others have suggested that the indictment will make Hunter Biden 'untouchable' from House investigators seeking to depose him.
Hunter Biden faces up to 17 years in prison if convicted on the charges.
