If Hunter Biden is accused of tax crimes or lying about gun purchase documents, prosecutors may use a variety of evidence, including emails, texts, and photos published by DailyMail.com.
Sources told The Washington Post that the FBI thinks it has sufficient evidence to accuse Hunter Biden of failing to declare foreign income and failing to declare he is a drug addict in a gun application.
Agents told the Post they assembled enough evidence for a criminal case against the First Son ‘months ago’ – and the decision to charge now lies with federal prosecutors.
They claim to have enough evidence to prove Hunter’s failure to report income from foreign business deals to the IRS.
On a gun application, The First Son stated that he did not use illegal drugs. However, he later confessed in his memoirs that he had been a crack addict.
Since 2019, the Bureau has had access to revealing emails, text messages, and photos from Hunter’s computer that Hunter never meant for it to be given to law enforcement.
DailyMail.com now has the ability to reveal what evidence might be used by prosecutors in potential trials.
A SMOKING GUN
On October 12, 2018 Hunter bought a .38 caliber handgun from StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply in Wilmington, Delaware.
DailyMail.com obtained a federally required Firearm Transaction Record. This record asks the following question: ‘Are there any illegal or addicted users or addicts to marijuana, any depressant stimulant, narcotic, drug or other controlled substances?
Hunter checked this box: “No”
But in his memoir, Beautiful Things, he admitted to his continued ‘full-blown addiction’ at the time – and in doing so, appeared to admit to the felony of lying on the firearm form.
I had already returned [to the East Coast]That fall 2018, following my latest relapse, in California. With the hopes of getting clean with new therapy and reconciliation with Hallie. In his autobiography 2021, he said that “Neither of these things happened.”
While he stated that he was going to regular ketamine therapy sessions in his rehab, he still smoked crack all through.
Hunter purchased the.38 revolver at Starquest Shooters, Delaware, on October 12, 2018.
Hunter later admitted that he had falsified the required firearm report. The form’s photo shows that Hunter’s first son answered “no” when asked whether he was an illegal user or addicted to marijuana.
Hunter had only the gun for two weeks before a potentially dangerous situation occurred. Hallie Biden, his lover and brother’s widow, found the gun in Hunter’s truck October 23, and then threw it out of Janssens in front of a high school.
He wrote, “The results of the therapy were catastrophic.” ‘I backslid. It was exactly the same thing that I came to Massachusetts to quit. For a week I’d be clean and then I’d break off from the center to make a connection in Rhode Island. Then I would smoke up again, and return to Massachusetts.
“I fooled people all the time about what I was doing. That was one of my greatest achievements. To pass drug testing, I bought pure urine from an NY dealer between my trips there.
“I think it’s a waste to take ketamine when you’re high on crack.
Politico first received a copy of the Firearms Transaction Record as well as a receipt from the purchase.
Lying on firearm forms is considered a crime and can result in a minimum of 10 years imprisonment or a $250,000 fine.
A bombshell Politico report revealed that Hunter’s former girlfriend and sister-in law, Hallie, had discovered the gun in Hunter’s car and wrapped it in plastic. She then placed it outside Janssen’s Market in Wilmington in October 2018 because she was afraid he might use it for suicide.
But not every case is prosecuted. Out of the 478 referrals the Justice Department received for “lying and purchasing”, 298 were brought to trial, which is about 60%.
Hunter had only been carrying the gun for about two weeks, when an incident that was potentially fatal occurred.
Hallie, the widow of his brother and lover Hallie Biden discovered it in his truck in October 23. He threw it out in a dumpster outside Janssens local grocery store.
The homeless man found the item while rummaging through garbage. The FBI was also called.
Hunter escalated the argument with Hallie via panicked text messages the day after the incident.
‘The f***ing FBI Hallie. It is hard to believe someone can do that. He wrote that he owns a gun in a locked vehicle hidden on another property.
Hallie said, “It had been left open with all windows closed and children searched your car.” ‘I’m scared you would use it hunt … I’m scared for your life hunt.’
The Bidens were not protected by the Secret Service at that time. However, USSS agents showed up to the gun store and demanded Ron Palmieri’s purchase records.
Palmieri, who was concerned that the case might be covered-up, refused and gave his papers later to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives agents, according to a March 20,21 Politico report.
Hunter received texts from DailyMail.com indicating that he had contacted his therapist in order to share the details of the incident. Jansens was notified that Hunter had stolen the gun from his truck’s lockbox and placed it in a trash can. Hunter said that Hunter told Hunter it was her problem.
Hunter exchanged heated text messages with Hallie about the incident. ‘The f***ing FBI Hallie. It is hard to believe someone can do that. He said that the gun was in a locked vehicle on another land. Hallie said, ‘It had been left open with all windows closed and children searched your vehicle. ‘I’m scared you would use it hunt … I’m scared for your life hunt’
However, the Secret Service denied any involvement. Hunter, however, claimed in texts that he had received from Hunter his laptop that they played a part in the whole affair.
“She took the gun from my truck and put it in the garbage bin at Jansens. Hunter then told me that it was mine to handle,’ Hunter said in a January 2019 text message. He sent the three-way message to Hallie as well as his therapist.
“Then the FBI, police and secret services arrived and she told me that she took the money from me as she was afraid she would hurt herself due to our volatile relationship.
Judicial Watch, an open-source transparency organization, has filed a lawsuit against the Secret Service because it refused to give records related to the incident to Freedom of Information Act.
In a statement last year, the agency stated that Senators Chuck Grassley & Ron Johnson were not involved in Hunter’s possible criminal activities.
A letter from the Republican senators stated that Benjamin Kramer, the special agent in charge of security at the Secret Service, said: “The Secret Service did no provide protection to any members of the Biden Family in 2018”.
“Further Records searches concerning the reported involvement Secret Service personnel has yielded no results.”
SHADE BUSINESS DEALS
Hunter’s international business deals have been controversial for many years. The details of his laptop reveal that they have become the subject of intense scrutiny.
His possible charges of alleged undeclared income could focus on the allegedly corrupt Ukrainian Gas Company Burisma or his dealings with Chinese financial companies and Beijing-backed Oil Giant CEFC. Or his business deals with Russian, Kazakhstan, and other Eastern European magnates.
Here is an excerpt of a bank document showing Hunter being paid $1million as legal retainer by Patrick Ho. Hunter was represented by Ho, one Hunter’s Chinese business associates. Hunter was paid $1million by Ho to represent him when he was arrested on charges of bribery. Hunter did not declare this income.
An account showing that $5 million was wired to Hunter’s company in connection to his deal with Chinese oil giant CEFC. The IRS is not sure if Hunter reported any income from the deal.
Hunter’s transactions and those of his relatives have led to more than 150 suspicious activity reporting by banks, to be used in financial crime investigations.
The FBI has these voluminous documents and they were used as evidence by the Senate Homeland Security Committee in its explosive 2020 report. It highlighted’millions in questionable transactions’, national security concerns and Hunter’s foreign business dealings.
Emails and documents from Hunter’s laptop show he made at least $11million from his overseas deals between 2013 and 2018 – and the total he got from Chinese businesses alone has been estimated as high as $31million.
According to a bank statement dated August 2017, Hunter lost his laptop and wired $5 million to Hudson West III’s account. Hudson West III was linked to Hunter through the CEFC agreement.
After Patrick Ho, the CEFC Executive was arrested in bribery cases that year and wire transfers showed that he had paid Hunter $1million to help him.
Hunter even recounted once being presented with a 2.8 carat diamond by CEFC Energy China tycoon Ye Jianming – though he claimed he gave it to his associates and never saw it again.
Unclaimed Income
Eric Schwerin is Hunter’s business associate and warns Hunter in a 2017 email that he must ‘amend’ his 2014 tax file to reflect the thousands from Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company.
Below is an Oct 2018 email Hunter’s accountants and lawyers sent discussing his overseas business income.
Hunter sold his 10% share in Bohai harvest RST (a Chinese venture) late last year. Experts estimated Hunter’s stake at $20 million. The fund was worth $2billion.
These huge amounts, if they were not correctly or completely declared, could be a prime target for David Weiss of Delaware in his tax investigation against the First Son.
Eric Schwerin is Hunter’s business associate and warns Hunter in a 2017 email that he must ‘amend’ his 2014 tax file to reflect the thousands from Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company.
Schwerin explained that she had received notification from Schwerin informing her that Schwerin said, “In 2014, you joined the Burisma board. We still have to amend your 2014 returns so they reflect the Burisma income not reported.”
“That adds $400,000 to your annual income of $1,247,000.328 in 2014.
Hunter’s assistant, in an email dated November 2018, lists that $412 309.23 has not been paid on unpaid tax bills.
This figure could have increased significantly, since Hunter’s “sugar brother” lawyer Kevin Morris paid more than $2million to Hunter’s tax bills in this year.
Hunter made millions but claimed that he didn’t have the money to support his ex-employee, whom he had impregnated and later ghosted.
Lunden Roberts (31), was a basketball coach for his daughter and worked for his company, Rosemont Seneca. At first, Roberts denied that her son was his. Then, when she sued him in Arkansas for paternity and DNA testing proved his fathership, he claimed he didn’t have enough income to support child support.
JPMorgan Chase submitted a Suspicious Activities Report (SAR) naming Florida and New York-based Ekaterina Mehrva. She received thousands from Hunter’s business and the women Hunter had paid for sex. DailyMail.com obtained the SAR from Marco Polo, an anti-corruption non-profit. It states that Anna Dekhtiar, a student, was sent to Moreva with $274,873 in November 2018, and March 2019. She received this money for sex.
In a November 2019 affidavit, he stated that “I am unemployed” and that they have not had a monthly income since May 2019.
Roberts was due to hear from him on the matter of contempt for not producing financial records to prove his penury. The First Son agreed to settle with Roberts within two days.
Hunter’s lawyers were furious at the Washington Post’s Thursday report that quoted sources claiming the feds had sufficient evidence for the First Son’s indictment.
Attorney Chris Clark stated to the paper that it is illegal for federal agents to leaked information regarding Grand Jury investigations such as this.
“Any agent that you mention in your article appears to have committed this felony. This is what we expect from the Department of Justice. They will investigate and try to prosecute these criminal actors.
We believe that the prosecution in this case is diligently and meticulously weighing all evidence, not just the testimony of agents. This includes witnesses to the defense. It is the job for the prosecutors. These prosecutors should not feel pressured or rushed.
