Hunter Biden hit with new criminal charges by Department of Justice, reports say

The president’s son Hunter Biden was reportedly hit with a set of nine new tax-related federal charges on Thursday.

The charges were filed in California federal court, NBC News reports.

The Independent has contacted the Justice Department and Hunter Biden’s lawyer for comment.

The charges add to the multiple legal fights facing the president’s son.

In September, he pleaded not guilty to a three-count federal indictment in Delaware allege he purchased and posessed a firearm while using narcotics.

Prosecutors say he lied while buying a Colt Cobra handgun in October 2018.

The case, which could result in up to 25 years in prison, was the first-ever indictment of a sitting US president’s child.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated with new information.
