Hunter Biden faces nine charges, including tax evasion and false tax returns, totaling at least $1.4 million.
Prosecutors claim he used false business deductions and withdrew millions outside proper channels.
The indictment alleges he spent lavishly on drugs, escorts, and luxury, delaying tax payments.
Hunter’s attorney argues the charges wouldn’t exist without his last name.
The Justice Department warns of a potential 17-year prison term.
The case originated from overseas dealings, involving Burisma and a Chinese fund, tying into House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry.
The plea deal collapsed, leading to the recent indictment, intensifying political scrutiny and claims of interference.
Hunter Biden’s financial dealings continue to be a focal point for Republicans, though no evidence has supported their allegations against Joe Biden.
