The younger Biden could face up to twenty-five years in prison

Hunter Biden lobbied American officials during his father’s vice presidency to help his corrupt Romanian client – according to a court document filed by Special Prosecutor David Weiss’s team. Despite this, Hunter Biden is not being charged with violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

During his father’s vice presidency, Hunter Biden attempted to lobby on behalf of his client, Romanian businessman Gabriel Popoviciu, who was convicted of bribery in Romania, at American authorities – as revealed in a filing submitted by David Weiss’s office to a federal court in California for the tax fraud case against Joe Biden’s son. The trial is set to begin on September 9th in Los Angeles.

Hunter Biden is facing charges for failing to report around $1.4 million in income, mostly from foreign transactions, between 2016 and 2019 – as reported by The New York Post.

The new filing suggests that Hunter Biden attempted to persuade American authorities to launch an investigation into Popoviciu in relation to a probe in Romania, aiming to have it terminated. Knowing that such a deal would violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act, Hunter Biden and two business partners tried to cover up the agreement with forged business documents – as noted by the American news portal, Breitbart.

US law requires individuals acting on behalf of foreign governments or other foreign principals (including Americans) to disclose their relationships with foreign principals and provide information about their activities.

Those who intentionally fail to do so may face criminal proceedings, as stated on the website of the US Department of Justice.

From Weiss’s team’s filing, it is also revealed that Hunter Biden actually took steps in the case of his Romanian client.

[The] defendant [Hunter Biden] and his business partners did indeed contact government officials, specifically the US Department of State

– states the document.

These findings are further supported by bank records obtained by the House Republican caucus. According to these records, Popoviciu’s company, Bladon Enterprises, transferred three million dollars to Hunter Biden’s business partner between November 2015 and May 2017, with approximately one million dollars ultimately landing in accounts connected to Hunter Biden. Ten thousand dollars also went to Hallie Biden, the widow of Joe Biden’s eldest son, Beau, who was in a relationship with Hunter Biden at the time.

Nevertheless, Weiss does not plan to charge the president’s son under FARA, considering the circumstance “irrelevant” to the tax fraud case.

Hunter Biden Awaits Judgment in Another Case

As reported, this is not the only legal proceeding against Hunter Biden. He was recently found guilty on all charges in a firearms case. The judgment is expected to be pronounced on November 13, just a few days after the US presidential election, with Hunter Biden facing a potential prison sentence of up to 25 years.
