Special Counsel David Weiss released his final report on Monday, officially closing the years-long investigation into Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden.

The report detailed significant findings, including Hunter Biden’s failure to pay $1.4 million in taxes over four years and his use of his last name and connections to secure lucrative business deals.

This included $1.5 million in 2016, $2.3 million in 2017, $2.1 million in 2018, $1 million in 2019, and $188,000 in 2020.

The income was tied to positions such as a board seat with Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings and a joint venture with individuals linked to a Chinese energy conglomerate.

“As a well-educated lawyer and businessman, Mr. Biden consciously and willfully chose not to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes over a four-year period,” Weiss wrote.

He noted that Hunter Biden “negotiated and executed contracts and agreements that paid him millions of dollars for limited work.”

Weiss also highlighted that Hunter Biden “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills” and that his drug use did not justify his actions.

“Most glaringly, Mr. Biden filed his false 2018 return… approximately eight months after he had regained his sobriety,” Weiss stated.

Hunter Biden faced multiple federal charges last year.

In June, he was convicted on three felony firearm charges related to purchasing a gun while addicted to drugs.

Later, in September, he pleaded guilty to three felony tax charges and six misdemeanors for failing to pay his taxes from 2016 to 2019.

Despite the charges carrying potential sentences of up to 17 years in prison, federal sentencing guidelines suggested a significantly shorter sentence.

However, before sentencing could take place, Joe Biden issued a blanket pardon for his son in December, covering a ten-year period and applying to any federal offenses Hunter Biden had committed or might have committed.

Weiss criticized Biden’s decision to pardon his son, as well as the president’s public remarks characterizing Hunter Biden’s prosecutions as “selective” and “unfair.”

Weiss described the president’s comments as “gratuitous and wrong,” stating that they undermined confidence in the criminal justice system.

“Other presidents have pardoned family members, but in doing so, none have taken the occasion as an opportunity to malign the public servants at the Department of Justice based solely on false accusations,” Weiss wrote.

He added that such statements “unfairly impugn the integrity not only of Department of Justice personnel, but all of the public servants making these difficult decisions in good faith.”

The Department of Justice submitted Weiss’ report to Congress on Monday evening, marking the conclusion of the investigation.

Weiss emphasized the seriousness of Hunter Biden’s actions, stating, “These are not ‘inconsequential’ or ‘technical’ tax code violations.”

Hunter Biden’s financial and legal issues remain a focal point of public and political scrutiny, particularly as the special counsel’s report sheds light on the broader implications of his actions and the president’s response.
