[FoxNews] President Biden's son Hunter Biden was indicted in California Thursday on a litany of tax charges, according to documents made public.
The indictment Hunter Biden's failure to pay nearly $200,000 of income tax in the year 2019.
Special Counsel David Weiss has been using a federal grand jury in Los Angeles to gather evidence of possible criminal tax charges against Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty in October to federal gun charges in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware after being charged out of Weiss' years-long investigation.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Hunter Biden's legal team for comment. A spokesperson for Special Counsel Weiss declined to comment.
Thursday's development comes ahead of an expected vote from House Republican leaders next week on a measure that would formally initiate an impeachment inquiry into President Biden over possible ties to his son's business dealings.
Earlier this week, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., released subpoenaed bank records showing an entity owned by Hunter Biden had made "direct monthly payments to Joe Biden."
Comer attributed Thursday's indictment to the efforts of "two brave IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler."
"The Department of Justice got caught in its attempt to give Hunter Biden an unprecedented sweetheart plea deal," Comer said. "Every American should applaud these men for their courage to expose the truth."
"Unless U.S. Attorney Weiss investigates everyone involved in the Bidens’ fraud schemes and influence peddling, it will be clear President Biden’s DOJ is protecting Hunter Biden and the big guy."
The White House has repeatedly said that President Biden did nothing wrong and had no knowledge of his son's business dealings.
House Republicans, meanwhile, have warned the younger Biden they would move to hold him in contempt of Congress if he didn't appear for a closed-door deposition on Dec. 13.
Hunter Biden has insisted he would only testify to the House if it's in public because information from closed-door testimonies is selectively leaked and used to "manipulate, even history, the facts and misinform the American public."

Hunter still skates on the tax evasions and in 2014 and 2015.

5 years after the initial tax-evasion investigations started, and 5 days before the scumbag Prince-ling was required to give testimony or face a criminal contempt charge by Congress. Curious coincidence?
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] The House voted to censure Rep. Jamaal Firebug Bowman ...sleazy Dem politician and educator, U.S. representative for New York's safe 16th congressional district since 2021. On September 30, 2023, while House Dems were desperately attempting to delay a vote that avoided shutting the government down so they could blame it on the Pubs, Bowman pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building, causing the building to be evacuated. Bowman told reporters he thought it was a doorknob or something. Capitol Police released a statement saying they were investigating the fire alarm incident, and maybe a few rubes somewhere expected something to come of it. Republicans introduced a motion to expel Bowman from the House but that evaporated too. Bowman issued a statement saying they were Nazis. Bowman is a member of The Squad, a faction of like-minded subversives... for pulling the fire alarm during a vote to avert a government shutdown.
The vote was 214 to 191, with five members voting 'present.'
Four Democrats, all on the Ethics Committee, voted 'present' - as is standard for ethics-related matters. Three Democrats voted to censure Bowman - Rep. Jahana Hayes, Conn., Chris Pappas, N.H., and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Wash.
One Republican voted against it: Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland.
Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., forced a vote on the resolution this week by making it 'privileged.'
Republicans have pushed to censure, and maybe even expel, Bowman since the incident on September 30.

Apply the same legal actions to him as are being applied to the Jan 6th protesters.
Obstruction of congressional or administrative proceedings (18 U.S.C. 1505)
Even as, and especially as, a LSD DC Swamper skilled in US law.
He should be in jail and facing 5 years of prison time, as it was a DIRECT & ILLEGAL ACTION to halt a Congressional Vote.
