Hunter Biden, President Biden's son, has managed to evade potential legal consequences over unpaid taxes stemming from his tenure on the board of the Ukrainian energy corporation, Burisma Holdings, several years back.

In Hunter Biden's ongoing tax evasion investigation, Special Counsel David Weiss failed to act before the statute of limitations ran out on a $124,000 tax deficit from his nearly $1 million Burisma earnings in 2014. Detractors argue that this oversight was a deliberate effort to protect the Biden family from a lawsuit that might reveal traces of power brokering by then-Vice President Biden.

Nonetheless, according to judiciary specialists, Mr. Weiss has the ability to reinitiate the case since the taxes remain unpaid. The younger Biden could face charges of conspiring to evade taxes, potentially unveiling evidence of President Biden’s purported role in assisting Burisma to sidestep a governmental corruption investigation for his son’s benefit.
