Tax investigations have been launched against the son of United States President-elect Joe Biden, Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden confirmed this in a statement. Accordingly, state prosecutors for the state of Delaware are investigating.
“I take the matter very seriously, but I am confident that a professional and independent investigation will show that I did my business legally and properly, even with the help of professional tax advisers,” he said.
The statement was issued by the transition team of President-elect and Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris. In a separate statement, he said Joe Biden was very proud of his son, who had been exposed to vicious personal attacks in recent months.
Trump’s campaign pounced on Hunter Biden
Current President Donald Trump’s election campaign had pounced on the eventual winner’s son in recent months with accusations. According to an October “New York Post” tabloid report, Hunter Biden is said to have used his father’s position in business in Ukraine in 2015, when Joe Biden was vice president of the United States.
Twitter and other social networks blocked links to redistribute the article. “This is part of our standard procedure against spreading false information,” Facebook explained, for example. Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, is said to have sent the data to the New York Post, whose owner, Rupert Murdoch, is a Trump supporter.
The accusations against the Bidens are not new. In June 2019, Trump had urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi to investigate corruption against the Bidens. The American Democrats accused Trump of abuse of power and began an impeachment process. However, the Senate acquitted the president in February.
