Hunter Biden settled a $450,000 tax debt within six days last month, despite recently claiming he was too broke to pay child support, according to a new report, raising further questions about his financial dealings.
The son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was slapped with the hefty lien on July 9 by the District of Columbia for unpaid state income taxes, and despite having no clear job, was able to “resolve” the bill in the space of a week, the Washington Free Beacon reported Monday.
A spokesman for the Office of the Chief Financial Officer in DC confirmed to the publication that the younger Biden, 50, was released on July 15 after the “tax issue was resolved.”
It’s unclear how the potential first son was able to pay off the nearly half-million-dollar debt so quickly, but the report raises further questions about the family’s murky financial dealings.
Before the pandemic, Senate Republicans had been preparing to investigate Hunter Biden’s job on the board of notoriously corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, for which he was paid $50,000 a month despite having no experience in the energy sector.
At the time, his father was vice president and in charge of US policy toward Ukraine.
Hunter Biden’s financial woes were made public last year when he was sued by an ex-stripper with whom he fathered a child. He argued he couldn’t make child support payments because he was broke.
“I attest that I am unemployed and have had no monthly income since May 2019,” the former lobbyist wrote in a November 2019 affidavit before settling with the woman out of court in March.
The father of five also told the court he was in “significant debt” from his divorce with his ex-wife, who accused him of blowing their money on hookers, strip clubs and drugs.
