Before leaving office, President Joe Biden used his authority to pardon his son Hunter for crimes for which he had pled guilty. In doing so, Biden said he was doing what any father would do for his son.
So what were the crimes Hunter Biden committed? The one which received the most attention was that he lied on an application for purchasing a gun in 2018 when he denied being addicted to drugs at the time. In a separate trial, though, he admitted he failed to pay 1.4 million dollars in taxes from 2016 through 2019. It seems he couldn’t afford to pay his taxes because he needed the money to pay for drugs, prostitutes, luxury hotels, a sex club membership and online pornography.
It must be nice to have connections with powerful people! It’s hard not to think, what would happen to any of the rest of us if we somehow forgot to pay 1.4 million dollars in taxes? But it’s okay. In the five years since, he’s turned into a fine, upstanding citizen.
