According to people familiar with the case, federal prosecutors believe they have enough evidence to charge Hunter with financial crimes.

In December 2020, the younger Biden said in a statement that he was being investigated for his taxes.

The statement said that he learned yesterday that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware was investigating his tax affairs. I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately.

According to the Post, investigators think they have enough evidence to charge Hunter Biden with making a false statement. The US attorney in Delaware will make a decision.

The investigation of Hunter Biden's taxes was temporarily halted because of Justice Department rules that prohibit prosecutors from taking actions that could affect the outcome of an election, according to CNN. The initial focus of the inquiry was on Biden's taxes, but it later focused on whether he failed to report all his income or lied about it.

It would be the biggest test yet of the president's promise to restore independence and public trust in the Justice Department if Hunter Biden was indicted.

The lawyer for the younger Biden did not comment on the substance of the Post's story and accused investigators of leaking.

Clark told the paper that it is a federal felony for a federal agent to leak information about a grand jury investigation. It appears that any agent you cite as a source in your article has committed a felony. The Department of Justice is expected to investigate and prosecute bad actors. We believe that the prosecutors in this case are thorough in weighing all of the other witnesses in this case, including witnesses for the defense. The prosecutors are responsible for that. They shouldn't be pressured or criticized for their work.
