Hunter Biden is facing nine tax-related charges in California, including three felonies and six misdemeanors, amounting to $1.4 million in owed taxes.
The charges allege a four-year scheme of tax evasion and false tax reporting from 2017 to 2020.
The indictment accuses Hunter of subverting the tax withholding process of his company and spending millions on an extravagant lifestyle instead of paying taxes. (Trending: Elon Musk Condemns Arrest Of Jan 6 Protester)

These developments come amid an expected vote from House Republican leaders on a potential impeachment inquiry into President Biden over possible ties to his son’s business dealings.
Special Counsel David Weiss stated that Hunter “willfully failed to pay his 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 taxes on time, despite having access to funds to pay some or all of these taxes,” and that he “willfully failed to file his 2017 and 2018 tax returns on time.”
“[W]hen he did finally file his 2018 returns, included false business deductions in order to evade assessment of taxes to reduce the substantial tax liabilities he faced as of February 2020,” Weiss wrote.
“Based on the facts and the law, if Hunter’s last name was anything other than Biden, the charges in Delaware, and now California, would not have been brought,” attorney Abbe Lowell stated.
Hunter’s defense attorney has criticized the charges, claiming they are a result of political pressure.
