According to the Washington Post, after a four-year investigation, the decision to charge Hunter Biden is imminent.
The probe into Hunter Biden is being led by David Weiss, a Trump-appointed US Attorney from Delaware.
Hunter Biden disclosed in 2020 that he was being investigated by federal authorities over his taxes.
In addition, Hunter Biden is facing a criminal investigation for making a false statement in connection with a gun purchase.
These investigations date back to 2018.
A whistleblower from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has alleged that Hunter Biden is receiving “preferential treatment.”
US Attorney General Merrick Garland is also involved in this scandal.
The timing of the announcement regarding whether Hunter Biden will be charged remains unknown. However, it’s imminent.
As reported by The Washington Post:
Prosecutors are nearing a decision on whether to charge President Biden’s son Hunter with tax- and gun-related violations, according to people familiar with the matter, the culmination of a four-year investigation that Republicans have sought to portray as evidence the Biden family is corrupt.
Biden’s attorneys met at Justice Department headquarters in downtown Washington last week to discuss the case with U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware, according to the people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing criminal investigation.
Typically, that sort of meeting — in which defense lawyers urge prosecutors not to seek an indictment of their client, or to seek reduced charges — comes toward the end of an investigation.
The people familiar with the matter said Weiss is nearing the end of his decision-making process, although they offered no specific timetable.
They cautioned that the probe has taken longer than some officials thought it would, frustrating some law enforcement officials, and conceivably could slow down again before a decision has been reached.
