Los Angeles (AFP) - The special counsel probing claims that Hunter Biden used his father's power and prestige to secure millions of dollars in bribes from a Ukrainian firm has charged a one-time FBI informant with lying, according to a federal indictment. Alexander Smirnov, 43, is accused of fabricating claims that the US president's son demanded the money to protect Burisma -- on whose board he was serving at the time -- from an investigation. Smirnov's evidence has been touted by Republicans as proof that the Bidens were collectively involved in a criminal enterprise, which some in the party...

Washington (AFP) - Federal gun charges are just the latest blow in a litany of legal and personal setbacks for Hunter Biden, whose status as son of the US president masks a tragic and troubled life. The accusations Thursday that he broke the law in purchasing a firearm in 2018 while addicted to crack cocaine reinforces Hunter Biden's reputation as a magnet for lurid activities now haunting President Joe Biden as he seeks re-election. Hunter Biden, 53, has written movingly of his attempts to put his past behind him, but the gun charges and a separate, highly politicized push by Republicans to i...

Washington (AFP) - Shady business deals, drugs and women: Hunter Biden has lived a turbulent life under two shadows -- that of his father, President Joe Biden, and his older brother Beau, who died of cancer in 2015. The 53-year-old Hunter Biden's efforts to put his lurid past behind him suffered a setback on Friday as Attorney General Merrick Garland named a special counsel to look into his affairs. Hunter Biden's legal and personal troubles have made him a vulnerable target for Joe Biden's Republican political opponents and the attacks have ramped up with the Democratic president now seeking ...

Wilmington (United States) (AFP) - US President Joe Biden's son Hunter pleaded not guilty to minor tax offenses Wednesday as a deal with federal prosecutors crumbled in a Delaware court. The surprise move came after Judge Maryellen Noreika raised questions over the original deal -- under which Hunter Biden had agreed to enter a guilty plea and admit to illegal gun possession -- and effectively placed it on hold. Biden, 53, whose legal troubles have cast a shadow over his father's reelection campaign, had reached an agreement with prosecutors that he would be sentenced to probation on two tax a...

Washington (AFP) - Shady business deals, drugs and women: Hunter Biden has lived a turbulent life under two shadows: that of his father, President Joe Biden, and his older brother Beau, who died of cancer in 2015. His troubles make him a vulnerable target for Joe Biden's opponents, and the attacks are unlikely to end with the plea deal he reached with the Justice Department to avoid prison on tax and gun charges. With the president now running for a second term in office, Republicans -- particularly Donald Trump -- are accusing father and son with reaping millions of dollars through Hunter's b...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden's son Hunter has reached a plea deal on minor tax and gun charges, concluding a five-year probe that involved persistent Republican allegations that major crimes were being covered up. Hunter Biden, 53, has agreed to plead guilty to two counts of failure to pay federal income tax and admitted to illegally possessing a gun despite being a drug user, prosecutors said Tuesday. The plea agreement between Hunter Biden and the US Attorney's Office in his home state of Delaware will need to be approved by a federal judge. The president's son is unlikely to fa...

Washington (AFP) - Federal agents investigating Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, believe they have evidence of tax crimes and it will be up to a prosecutor to decide whether to bring any charges, The Washington Post reported Thursday. The newspaper, citing people familiar with the case, said investigators also believe they have sufficient evidence to charge the younger Biden with making a false statement in connection with a gun purchase. It would be up to the US Attorney in Delaware, an appointee of former president Donald Trump, to decide whether to file charges against the 5...
