The office of special counsel David Weiss has indicated that Hunter Biden was hired by wealthy Romanian oligarch Gabriel Popoviciu to influence U.S. policies while Joe Biden was vice president.
Prosecutors allege that Hunter received over $3 million for his lobbying efforts, which were aimed at affecting U.S. government actions related to Popoviciu’s corruption trial.
Evidence suggests that both Hunter and Popoviciu were concerned about the political implications of their agreement and structured it to conceal its true nature.
Despite these findings, Weiss has not charged Hunter with failing to register as a foreign agent, although he plans to use testimony suggesting political ramifications influenced their decision to avoid registration.
Hunter Biden faces multiple felony tax charges, while he has already been convicted for illegally purchasing a firearm while under the influence of drugs.
Defense attorneys are seeking to dismiss charges linked to his business dealings, citing his struggles with addiction.
