Prosecutors say he spent millions on a lavish lifestyle while evading paying his taxes.

A California grand jury has returned a nine-count indictment against Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, charging him with three felony tax offenses and six misdemeanor tax offenses.

Special counsel David Weiss announced the indictment on Thursday night, which alleges Mr. Biden spent millions on a lavish lifestyle and drugs instead of fulfilling his tax obligations between 2016 and 2019—totaling at least $1.4 million.

Instead of paying his taxes, Mr. Biden “spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes,” reads the indictment.

According to Mr. Weiss, the charges include three counts of failure to pay taxes for the years 2016, 2017, and 2019, and three counts of failure to file tax returns for the years 2017 and 2018.

“The Defendant spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle at the same time he chose not to pay his taxes,” reads the indictment.

The indictment notes Mr. Biden’s spending during these years, including $1 million in 2016, $1.4 million in 2017, $1.8 million in 2018, and $600,000 in 2019.

Additionally, Mr. Biden faces charges of tax evasion, filing a false return, and filing a false return for his company, Owasco PC, for the tax year 2018.

Mr. Biden’s alleged actions involved a deliberate effort to avoid paying taxes, including subverting his own company’s payroll and tax withholding process by withdrawing millions outside of the established procedures, according to the indictment.

In addition to allegedly claiming false deductions in 2018 to reduce his tax liability, prosecutors allege that Mr. Biden willfully failed to pay his taxes on time between 2016 and 2019 and neglected to file his 2017 and 2018 tax returns on time.

If convicted on all counts, the president’s son could face a maximum penalty of 17 years in prison.

The Epoch Times contacted Mr. Biden’s lawyer, the White House, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) for comment.
