Drug-Addled Hunter Biden Allegedly Liquidated Daughter’s College Fund
Although President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is currently facing criminal charges related to lying on a federal form when purchasing a firearm, many critics believe he has yet to face consequences for more egregious acts.
This week, new evidence emerged about his alleged improper withdrawal of almost $40,000 from a bank account to be used for his daughter’s college tuition.
According to information found on an infamous laptop Biden left at a computer repair shop in Delaware, he received an email from Wells Fargo in late 2018 advising him that he had less than $1 left in his personal account. He reportedly emailed his banker and requested a transfer from his daughter’s college savings account — but he was told that those funds could not be sent to his personal account.
Biden allegedly responded with a rambling and often unintelligible missive to the bank complaining about the behavior of his ex-wife and demanding the liquidation of the college savings account. Upon receiving the cash, reports suggest he spent much of it on drugs and prostitutes.
In a statement to the House Ways and Means Committee, IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler affirmed that the agency was at one point prepared to pursue felony tax evasion charges against Biden in connection with the transactions, some of which he claimed as business deductions.
“At the time of our prosecution referral, we had originally recommended felony tax charges for [Biden] for the 2019 tax year, which included [tax evasion and false return] charges,” an affidavit stated. “[Biden] had failed to report the income related to a distribution he had taken from one [of] his children’s 529 Plan in 2019, additional income of approximately $39,820.”
In a plea deal offered earlier this year that subsequently fell apart, Biden pleaded guilty to misdemeanor tax evasion counts. Prosecutors said at the time that it would have been difficult to prove motive in the case, which would have been crucial to securing a felony conviction.
However, Gary Shapley, another IRS whistleblower, testified that the Justice Department “slow-walked” its investigation of the president’s son.
“When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately saw deviations from the normal process,” he said. “It was way outside the norm of what I’ve experienced in the past.”
