Prosecutors Reject Effort to Exclude Foreign Influence Evidence in Hunter Biden Tax Case

Federal prosecutors in Hunter Biden’s tax evasion case have opposed his legal team’s attempt to exclude evidence showing how he was hired by foreign interests to influence the U.S. government while his father was vice president. The U.S. Department of Justice plans to present this evidence at Biden’s upcoming trial, alleging that he was hired by a Romanian businessman accused of corruption to influence U.S. policy and public opinion regarding an investigation in Romania. The businessman, identified as G.P., faced bribery charges in Romania. Prosecutors also claim that Biden and his business associate received compensation to influence U.S. government agencies to investigate the Romanian investigation of G.P. Prosecutors further allege that Biden’s business associate structured a business relationship to avoid registering as a foreign agent and that they reached out to government officials. Biden is set to go on trial on September 5 in California on tax charges, facing nine felony and misdemeanor charges for failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes and including false deductions in his filings.
