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

Experts say Hunter Biden's nine new charges will be devastating to his father's presidential campaign and will make Joe Biden look like a liar for denying knowledge of his son's business dealings.

On Thursday, the Justice Department charged the first son nine charges relate to taxes, including two charges of filing a false tax return, one charge of tax evasion, four charges of non-payment and another two charges of failure to file returns.

Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, said the shocking news makes it impossible for the president to refute that he had ties to his son's business activities and that denying them is akin to Bill Clinton's claim that he had no relations with Monica Lewinsky.

“I mean actually [Biden is] saying, “I had no interaction with those people,” Turley continued Fox news. “It didn't work for Clinton. And it's even more insulting here.”

“But what the president is dealing with is a trap of his own making. He ran for office and promised the American people that he had no knowledge of these transactions,” he said.

President Joe Biden has repeatedly denied having any involvement in his son's business dealings

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

A Harvard CAPS-Harris poll found that 60 percent of Americans believe Joe “aided and participated in Hunter Biden's business,” while 40 percent said they did not think the president helped or participated.

Republicans were more likely than Democrats to think Joe Biden was involved in his son's deals — 81 percent of Republican voters thought he was involved, compared to 39 percent of Democrats.

The White House has repeatedly denied that the president had any involvement in Hunter's business ties. On Wednesday, the president called the allegations a “bunch of lies.”

Turley said, “That's directly contradicted. Hunter Biden himself contradicted his father in this. But you have Hunter's closest associate saying that's absolute nonsense, of course he knew that.'

'So, [Biden is] in this, a species frozen in amber with a story he cannot possibly maintain,” he added.

On Monday, the House Oversight Committee released bank records showing that Joe Biden received monthly payments of $1,380 from Hunter's company that received millions from China.

The indictment comes as the president gears up for a 2024 reelection campaign and Republicans in the House of Representatives look to vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry into Biden over his alleged role in Hunter's foreign dealings.

Washington Times Opinion Editor Charles Hurt said the indictment “should be like an atomic bomb going off for the Biden family.”

“The other part of this is regardless [of whether] Joe Biden is completely unaffected by all 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 about it to the American people. and again and again,” Hurt said.
