Experts say Hunter Biden’s tax evasion indictment is a ‘nuclear bomb’ for Joe’s re-election and makes president sound like ‘lying’ Bill Clinton for claiming he did not know about son’s business dealings

Nine new criminal charges filed against Hunter Biden would be damning for his father’s presidential campaign and make Joe Biden look like a liar who denies knowing about his son’s business dealings, experts said.

On Thursday, the Justice Department charged the first son with nine of the charges are tax-related, including two felony charges of filing a false return, a felony charge of tax evasion, four charges of failure to pay taxes and two more charges of failure to file a return.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said the bombshell made it difficult for the president to deny his connection to his son’s business dealings, and that denying it was comparable to Bill Clinton saying he had no relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

“I mean, essentially (Biden) is saying, ‘I haven’t communicated with these people,’” Turley said in an interview. Fox News. “It didn’t work for Clinton. And here it’s even more offensive.

“But what the president faces is a trap he has set for himself. “He ran for office promising and assuring the American people that he knew nothing about these deals,” he said.

On Thursday, the Justice Department indicted Hunter Biden on nine charges related to tax crimes.

President Joe Biden has repeatedly denied any involvement in his son’s business deals.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Biden’s denial of ties to his son’s business dealings is like President Bill Clinton (pictured) denying he had an affair.

The indictment says that from 2016 to 2020, Hunter spent millions on an “extravagant lifestyle,” including on women, clothing and adult entertainment, while avoiding paying taxes.

A Harvard CAPS-Harris poll found that sixty percent of Americans believe Joe “helped or participated in Hunter Biden’s business,” while 40 percent said they didn’t think the president helped or participated in it.

Republicans were more likely than Democrats to believe that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s dealings: 81 percent of GOP voters believed he was involved, compared to 39 percent of Democrats.

The White House has repeatedly denied any involvement by the president in Hunter’s business dealings. On Wednesday, the president called the allegations “lies.”

Turley said: “This is in direct contradiction. Hunter Biden himself contradicted his father on this. But you have a close associate of Hunter who says this is absolute nonsense, and of course he knew about it.”

“So (Biden) is in this kind of frozen amber with a history that he can’t maintain,” he added.

The indictment comes as the president prepares for re-election in 2024 and House Republicans are set to vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry into Biden over his alleged role in Hunter’s foreign dealings.

Washington Times editor Charles Hurt said the indictment should be “like a nuclear bomb going off on the Biden family.”

“The other part of this question is whether (whether) Joe Biden is completely untainted by any of this in any legal sense or in any business sense, which I would be very skeptical about – but even if that were the case. “He still lied to the American people about this over and over again,” Hurt said.
