December 9th local time, Hunter Biden, the son of U.S. President-elect Biden, said in a statement that Delaware federal prosecutors are conducting a tax investigation against him.
“I will take the investigation very seriously, but I believe a professional and objective review will prove that I have handled the relevant matters, including with professional tax consultants, lawfully and properly,” he said in the statement.
The statement concluded with a brief statement from the transition team of Biden and Vice President-elect Harris, which said: “President-elect Biden is deeply proud of his son.
Hunter has gone through many serious challenges, including vicious personal attacks in recent months, but he will only become stronger.”
