Federal prosecutors weighing charges in Hunter Biden investigation

Federal prosecutors believe they could charge Hunter Biden with tax crimes and a false statement but a final decision still has not yet been made by the US attorney in Delaware, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The case against Biden narrowed earlier this year, and was a matter of discussion in early summer between FBI and IRS investigators, prosecutors in Delaware and the Justice Department, CNN previously reported. The discussions included assessing the strength of the case and questioning whether more work was needed before deciding on charges, according to sources who spoke to CNN in July.

Prosecutors have not yet made any charging decisions on the case and have not met since early summer to discuss the federal investigation, according to two sources familiar with the matter. A decision is not expected before the midterm election.

A source familiar with the matter told CNN that talks between Biden’s team and the Justice Department have been ongoing for several months but nothing has changed in a couple of months on that front. #ac360 #CNN #News

  1. If it’s a chargeable offense and they can get an indictment, they absolutely should. Criminals should always be held accountable.

  2. If he committed tax fraud, he should be charged. So should anyone else, say, Donald. Is it that difficult of an ask that everyone be treated the same in this country

    1. @Floyd Hutcherson like father like son? So please tell me what the father has done that is so criminal other than you not liking his policies because that doesn’t count as a crime

    2. @Greg Scott I suggest you watch the interview with Tony bobalinski that was on Tucker two nights ago

    3. As long as there are corrupt people In power, It’ll never be like that.
      Nobody is above the law, unless they want them to be It’s that simple.
      That’s America 🇺🇸

  3. That’s how this is supposed to be no matter what side you’re on left or right you do something wrong you’re going to get locked up for it plain and simple🤔

    1. @Raider Nat prostitution, illegal possession of a firearm, illegally filing false paperwork in order to get a firearm, drug use (multiple times on video in fact). That’s before we even get into sketchy crap overseas.

  4. EVERY single person is equal under the law. If Hunter did something illegal and they have the evidence to charge him, then go for it.
    Let’s just be sure that the one guy that committed insurrection on live TV gets the same treatment.

    1. @Michael Martin Don’t bother. You need to have brain cells to be objective, obviously he has none lol.

  5. If Hunter committed those crimes, indict him! No pardons. No one is above the law! This from a Dem.

    1. You’ve already not been following. The establishment has done everything it can to protect Hunter and his Dad. Even this might be a rush to get a plea bargain before November.

  6. The real lesson to be learned here is that ALL of these rich powerful people and their families live by a different set of rules than the rest of us and that ‘s just the way it is!

    1. I would say that this is more of a sign that consequences will come, even for the president’s son. this may be the result of that massive hiring of IRS agents. Hopefully this kind of accountability will keep happening.

    2. @Des Walker Oh, so you had access to the case file and know that for a fact, don’t you? Oh wait, no you don’t. There’s a great line that should define our justice system: innocent until proven guilty. And that goes for everybody, whether it’s Hunter or Donald.

    3. 😂😂😂😂 they’ve tried every trick possibly to protect Hunter and his dad! Even this could be an attempt of getting a plea deal before November.

  7. If they don’t charge Hunter then apologies need to be sent to literally thousands who have been charged with less evidence’.

    1. @Cat Bee the Dragon-Sidhe you mean, they need to charge Hunter’s dad. It’s clear Joe not only profited but also covered for Hunter’s dodgy dealings.

  8. I thought this was Russian disinfo and we aren’t supposed to say the word hunter Biden without being canceled!!!

    1. So do you do this same shtick on Fox videos where they conveniently ignore stories? You know… just to show you’re not biased yourself.

  9. Even if he does get charged and convicted, the chances of him actually doing any prison time are very slim. Laws don’t apply to affluent democrats.

  10. So now I’m beginning to have 1%of my trust to cnn for reporting this before it was 0%, if u give ur opinion its not journalism but if u give the real situation and facing facts not siding with one side then u are doing good journalism just like FOX news.
    Thank you CNN for this little truth

  11. He won’t be indicted before midterms. Even if charged and convicted which is highly unlikely.
    If convicted, the Big guy would pardon him anyway

  12. Just charging Hunter for these chicken chit charges is like charging Jeffrey Dahmer with health code violations.
