Summary:
- Hunter Biden is expected to plead guilty to misdemeanor tax charges.
- Devon Archer, facing jail time, will testify before the House Oversight Committee.
- IRS agents' testimony raises questions about alleged payments to the Bidens from Burisma.
Hunter Biden is expected to plead guilty to a pair of misdemeanor tax charges this Wednesday, following revelations that he called his father, then Vice President Joe Biden, dozens of times to impress his overseas partners, as reported by the New York Post.
President Biden has previously denied any involvement in his son's overseas business dealings, but a New York Post columnist, Miranda Devine, refutes this claim. According to expected testimony before Congress from Devon Archer, Hunter Biden's former best friend, Hunter would dial his father into meetings with overseas business partners using speakerphone. Devon Archer, who is facing jail time for his role in a $60 million bond fraud, is scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee. IRS agents testified last week that they wanted to level more serious felony charges against Hunter Biden, but higher-ups in the chain of command blocked their efforts. The agents also state they were not allowed to interview the Biden family during their investigation, and Hunter was tipped off about a key search. The IRS agents' claims raise questions about the alleged $5 million payments to both Joe Biden and Hunter from the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, in exchange for getting Ukraine's top prosecutor fired while investigating the company.
As the investigation continues, attention turns to the scheduled testimony of Devon Archer and the unfolding developments in the case. The situation remains a topic of interest, particularly in political circles, with contrasting viewpoints on whether Republicans should move on from the matter or pursue further scrutiny.
