Hunter Biden Accused of Involvement in Romanian ‘Influence’ Scheme
In the ongoing tax evasion case against Hunter Biden, U.S. prosecutors have accused him of accepting money from a Romanian oligarch who sought to “influence U.S. government agencies.” This allegation is part of a broader case against Hunter Biden, who is charged with evading $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019 while spending millions on luxury cars, drugs, and escorts.
The case has fueled Republican accusations of “influence peddling” against the president’s son, though Congressional investigations have yet to find any conclusive evidence of wrongdoing. The trial for the tax evasion charges is set to begin in California in September, and Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty.
The charges against Hunter Biden have been a point of contention in U.S. politics, with opponents of President Joe Biden seizing on the case to criticize the administration. Despite the accusations, Hunter Biden has maintained his innocence and has denied using his family name for personal gain.
