Washington:

Hunter Biden was indicted late Thursday on nine counts of tax evasion, the second time this year President Joe Biden’s troubled son has been charged by a special counsel investigating his personal and business dealings.

Hunter Biden “engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019,” special counsel David Weiss said in the 56-page indictment filed in US district court in California.
