Could this be the October surprise

Description

Hunter Biden has been under investigation for failing to pay taxes since his father was vice-president, but the inquiry broadened in 2018 to look into how his international business dealings intersected with President Biden’s political career. The probe was reportedly kept under wraps by prosecutors as the elder Biden ran for high office. In 2019, the feds issued a grand jury subpoena to examine Hunter’s bank transactions with the Bank of China, his uncle and former business partners. A year later, a subpoena was issued seeking documents related to his expenses while he served on the board of a Ukraine energy company during the Obama administration. The role came while then-Vice President Biden was helping with the White House’s foreign policy in Ukraine, and was heavily criticized by political adversaries as he ran for president. It was unclear if Hunter’s work at the company was being scrutinized by the feds, or if his finances were. In October 2020, The Post exclusively revealed a hard drive holding the contents of Hunter’s laptop contained a trove of emails that detailed how the president’s son used his political leverage in his overseas business dealings. Biden has denied any accusations of impropriety. He took out a loan in 2021 to settle up his significant tax bill of $1 million, according to the Times. Tax prosecutors would typically argue that paying an overdue balance wouldn’t affect a fraud case because the crime would be evading taxes in the first place. However, a judge and jury would be likely to show compassion for someone who paid their bill, the article noted.
