Hunter Biden vulnerable to federal charges for unpaid taxes from his $1M-a-year job in Ukraine

President Biden’s son Hunter Biden has not dodged potential criminal charges for the taxes he failed to pay while serving on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings nearly a decade ago.

Special counsel David Weiss, the lead prosecutor in Hunter Biden’s ongoing tax fraud case, let the statute of limitations expire for not paying $124,000 in taxes on his roughly $1 million Burisma salary in 2014. Critics say the move was intended to shield the Bidens from a case that may have exposed evidence of influence peddling involving then-Vice President Joseph R. Biden.

Legal experts say Mr. Weiss can revive the case because Hunter Biden has not paid the taxes. He could be charged with conspiracy to commit tax fraud, which could lead investigators to evidence of Mr. Biden’s alleged involvement in helping Burisma thwart a state corruption probe on behalf of his son.

“This is a crucial test for Weiss,” said Mike Davis, a former counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee and president of the Article III Project, which advocates for constitutionalist judges and the rule of law.

Mr. Weiss is facing intense scrutiny from House and Senate lawmakers over his handling of the investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged tax and gun violations.
