BREAKING: Feds weigh possible charges against Hunter Biden as probe reaches ‘critical stage’ [UPDATED]

It looks like Joe Biden’s son could be in hot water pretty soon as federal investigators are weighing serious charges against him.

The charges could include false statements, as well as tax and foreign lobbying violations.

Here’s more via Fox News:

The federal investigation into Hunter Biden and his tax affairs has reached a “critical stage,” a source told Fox News, as officials are looking into whether to charge President Biden’s son with various tax violations, possible foreign lobbying violations and more.

Hunter Biden has been under federal investigation since 2018, according to a source familiar with the matter.

A separate source told Fox News that the federal grand jury looking into Hunter’s business dealings wrapped up its latest term late last month, but said no charges have been filed.

The investigation is being conducted by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a prosecutor appointed by former President Trump.

The source told Fox News Wednesday that Weiss and Justice Department officials were looking into whether to charge Hunter Biden with various tax violations and, more seriously, possible foreign lobbying violations. The source said Hunter Biden could face possible false statements charges.

But the source said no final decision has been made on whether to charge Hunter, and stressed that the investigation is ongoing.

Fox News first reported in December 2020 that Biden was a subject/target of the grand jury investigation, according to a well-placed government source. According to the source, a “target” means that there is a “high probability that person committed a crime,” while a “subject” is someone you “don’t know for sure” has committed a crime.”

The federal investigation into Hunter Biden was predicated, in part, by Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) regarding suspicious foreign transactions.

I know what most of you are thinking right now, that Hunter is going to walk because his dad sits in the Oval Office. Yeah I’m thinking it too. I have no hope in any other outcome given what we’ve seen.

If this were Donald Trump Jr. though, I can assure you he wouldn’t get a pass. He’d be prosecuted to the hilt. But I just don’t think Joe is going to let his justice department prosecute his son.

But hey Biden DOJ, surprise me.
