The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reportedly considered filing felony charges against Hunter Biden after uncovering evidence suggesting he had improperly used funds from his daughter’s college savings account. According to sources familiar with the investigation, IRS officials looked into whether Biden had diverted money meant for educational purposes to cover personal expenses.
The funds, which were allegedly intended for his daughter’s college education, were reportedly used during a period in which Biden faced significant personal and financial turmoil. Investigators within the IRS’s criminal division debated whether the use of the account constituted tax fraud or another form of financial misconduct.
Although the felony charges were considered, it’s unclear why they were ultimately not pursued. Some reports indicate that internal disagreements and questions about intent may have played a role in the decision not to move forward with prosecution on that specific issue.
The development adds to ongoing scrutiny of Hunter Biden’s finances, which have been the subject of several federal investigations. Biden has previously acknowledged struggling with addiction and financial instability during the time in question but has denied any criminal wrongdoing.
The White House has declined to comment, stating that Hunter Biden is a private citizen and referring all questions to his legal team.
