Table of Contents
Hunter Biden, son of President Joe biden, faces ongoing legal scrutiny related to his business dealings, tax liabilities, and firearm possession. As of January 21, 2026, he is currently involved in both criminal and civil proceedings.
Federal Tax Charges
Definition / Direct Answer: Hunter Biden was indicted in June 2023 on federal tax charges alleging he failed to pay over $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019.
Detail: The indictment, filed in delaware, accuses Biden of failing to file and pay taxes despite having sufficient funds to do so.He allegedly spent the money on drugs, escorts, and an extravagant lifestyle. The charges include three felony counts of failing to file and pay taxes, and two misdemeanor counts of failing to file a tax return.He initially pleaded not guilty, but a plea deal was proposed and then fell apart during a court hearing in July 2023.
Example or Evidence: The original plea deal, outlined in a Justice Department filing, would have allowed Biden to avoid a prison sentence if he had successfully completed a two-year probation period. The deal ultimately collapsed after the judge, Maryellen Noreika, raised concerns about the scope of immunity it would grant Biden from future prosecution. He was subsequently indicted again in September 2023. As of January 21, 2026, the case is ongoing, with a trial date not yet set.
Firearm Possession Charges
Definition / Direct Answer: in September 2023, Hunter Biden was indicted on federal firearm charges, alleging he illegally possessed a firearm while being an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.
Detail: The indictment stems from a 2018 incident where Biden allegedly purchased a Colt Cobra revolver. Prosecutors argue that he falsely stated on the required federal form that he was not an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance.The charges carry a potential maximum sentence of 25 years in prison. These charges were brought after the collapse of the initial tax plea deal,as the agreement had been contingent on resolving both cases simultaneously.
Example or Evidence: The indictment details Biden’s history of drug use, including crack cocaine, as evidence supporting the claim that he was an unlawful user of a controlled substance at the time of the firearm purchase.The Department of justice press release outlines the specific charges and allegations. As of January 21, 2026, Biden has pleaded not guilty to these charges, and the case is proceeding towards trial.
Congressional Investigations

Detail: These investigations centre on Biden’s work with foreign companies, particularly in Ukraine and China, while his father was Vice President.Republicans allege that Biden leveraged his father’s position for personal financial gain. The House Oversight Committee and the House Judiciary Committee have been leading these efforts, issuing subpoenas for documents and testimony.
Example or Evidence: The House Oversight Committee released a report in august 2023 detailing financial transactions involving Hunter Biden and his associates, claiming they demonstrate a pattern of influence peddling.
