Hunter Biden received a whopping $4.9 million from his “sugar brother” Kevin Morris, an IRS whistleblower claims.
Lawyer Kevin Morris allegedly loaned the president's son millions of dollars after the pair met at a campaign fundraiser in December 2019.
IRS Agent Joseph Ziegler announced the shocking figure with additional documentation to the House Ways & Means Committee on Tuesday, as Hunter faces two tax evasion charges.
Morris, a Hollywood lawyer who made a fortune from a South Park TV deal, was dubbed Hunter's “sugar brother” after he allegedly paid up to $2.8 million of the First Son's tax bill in an effort to satisfy prosecutors to set.
The new numbers Ziegler claims are a significant increase over previous reports.

It comes as Republicans in the House of Representatives are close to an expected vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry into President Biden over his alleged role in Hunter's foreign affairs.
Ziegler, who spent five years investigating Hunter's taxes before being removed from the case this year, provided lawmakers with further documents on Tuesday, including a February 2020 email.
The release shows that less than two months after they met, Morris contacted accountants on Hunter's behalf, warning them to move quickly to avoid “significant personal and political risks.”
Ziegler alleged that Hunter's income from Morris, at least some of it described as loans, reflected Hunter's alleged practice of trying to avoid taxes on other income by describing it as loans.
“Hunter appeared to be following a pattern of attempting to avoid tax on relevant income. This first started when Hunter didn't report it [Ukrainian gas company] Burisma income in 2014 and allegedly falsely claimed it was a loan to him,” Ziegler said in his statement.
'He tried to get the millions again [Chinese] the income from Hudson West III was a loan to him, which was disproven by the evidence and disallowed by his tax accountants,” he explained.
Adding, “This continued into 2020, 2021 and 2022, during which Hunter received approximately $4.9 million in payments for personal expenses, again in the form of a loan and gift from Democratic donor Kevin Patrick Morris.”
A grand jury in Los Angeles is reportedly considering tax charges against Hunter, the New York Post reported.

In July, Hunter visited Morris, who also purchased several of Hunter's works of art, for prices up to $500,000, at his Pacific Palisades home, where the lawyer was photographed smoking from a hookah.
While Hunter was at the house, Morris was photographed on a balcony, clearly visible from the public street, appearing to blow from a white bong, in photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.
It is not clear what substance was in Morris' hookah, and recreational marijuana use is legal in California.
Biden's son is currently facing three charges that carry a maximum prison sentence of 25 years and a $250,000 fine.
The first charge is for lying on a 2018 gun purchase form that he was not an illegal drug user and carries a top sentence of 10 years. The second charge involves lying to the gun shop, which could get him up to five years in prison. The third involves possessing the firearm while addicted, which could get him another 10 years in prison.
Despite hiring top lawyers, it can be difficult for them to challenge the facts of the case.
In Hunter's 2021 memoir, Beautiful Things, he admitted to a “full-blown addiction” to crack cocaine in 2018 — the period when he purchased the Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver.
The federally required firearms transaction report for the purchase asks, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or a sedative, stimulant, narcotic, or other controlled substance?”
Hunter checked the “no” box on the form, obtained by DailyMail.com.
The charges against him would be stayed as part of a plea deal Hunter reached with prosecutors in which he would admit to tax crimes for deliberately failing to file and pay his tax bill on millions of dollars in income.
But under the watch of a federal judge in July, the plea deal fell apart spectacularly in court over a controversial clause that would have given him blanket immunity for other offenses.
Abbe Lowell, Hunter's top D.C. attorney, has suggested he may challenge the charges on constitutional grounds related to the Second Amendment.
