‘Unemployed’ Hunter Biden pays $450K tax debt

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• Former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, reportedly paid off a $450,000 tax debt last month, despite having “no discernible income.”
• Hunter Biden previously claimed in a paternity case that he was “broke and unemployed” to pay child support.
• It’s still undetermined how the younger Biden was able to pay off the tax debt within days, raising questions about Hunter’s suspicious financial dealings.

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, reportedly paid a $450,000 tax debt within six days in July, despite recently claiming in a paternity case that he was too broke to pay child support, according to a report by the Washington Free Beacon.

On July 9, the younger Biden was slapped with the hefty lien by the District of Columbia for unpaid state income taxes. Despite having no clear job, Hunter was able to “resolve” the bill within six days, the outlet reported Monday, raising further questions about his financial dealings.

A spokesman for the Office of the Chief Financial Officer in DC confirmed to the Washington Free Beacon that the 50-year-old Biden was released on July 15 after the “tax issue was resolved.”

It’s not yet clear how Hunter was able to pay off the nearly half-a-million-dollar debt within days.

Senate Republicans were supposed to investigate Hunter Biden’s job on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings before the pandemic. Hunter’s reported monthly salary from Burisma was $50,000 despite having no experience in the energy business.

Then-vice president Joe Biden was in charge of US policy toward Ukraine.

The Bidens have denied breaking the law and there was no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of either Biden.

Last year, Hunter was sued by an ex-stripper with whom he fathered a child. He argued he couldn’t make child support payments because he was broke.

“I attest that I am unemployed and have had no monthly income since May 2019,” Hunter wrote in a Nov. 2019 affidavit.

The father of five settled with the woman out of court in March.

Hunter told the court he was in “significant debt” from his divorce with his ex-wife, Kathleen Biden, who accused him of spending their money on hookers, strip clubs and drugs.

His second wife, Melissa Cohen, gave birth to his fifth child in March.

Hunter bought a $2.5 million home in Hollywood Hills and the couple has been spotted driving a Porsche Panamera which retails at $129,000.
