The Biden Transition Team released a statement from Hunter Biden, son of President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday. The former Vice President’s son says he has been made aware that his “tax affairs” are under investigation.
Hunter Biden’s said in a statement:
“I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs. I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.“
The Biden-Harris Transition team wrote:
“President-elect Biden is deeply proud of his son, who has fought through difficult challenges, including the vicious personal attacks of recent months, only to emerge stronger.“
