Biden, who resides in Malibu, was accused of failing to pay his taxes on time from 2016 to 2019, filing false and fraudulent tax returns in 2018, and tax evasion, according to the 56-page indictment. Hunter Biden, the president’s son, was indicted Thursday in Los Angeles on several federal tax charges, marking the start of a second criminal case that will proceed during his father’s reelection campaign. The charges come months after Hunter Biden was set to enter a plea deal for tax and firearms violations. The most serious charges stem from the filing of 2018 tax returns for Biden and his business, Owasco PC, which prosecutors allege were fraudulent and evasive. The indictment makes no mention of Biden’s father, nor does it note that Biden paid off his tax debts.
