⚠️Hunter Biden has received a federal pardon from Joe Biden, clearing him of federal charges including tax evasion, tax offenses, and gun possession. However, the pardon doesn’t cover state crimes or new federal investigations. Here's what that means:
Federal Pardon Details:
1. Tax Evasion (Three Counts)
Failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes.
Max Sentence: 17 years in prison.
2. Misdemeanor Tax Offenses
Willful failure to file taxes.
Sentence: Fines or probation.
3. Gun Possession While Using Drugs
Max Sentence: 10 years in prison and fines.
The pardon prevents any further federal penalties but leaves him exposed to state charges.
State-Level Prosecutions:
1. Tax Evasion
Potential Sentence: Up to 5 years per offense, with taxes, penalties, and interest potentially over $1M.
2. State Gun Violations
Sentence: 1-3 years in prison.
3. Drug Violations
Sentence: 1-5 years or rehab.
4. Financial Crimes
Sentence: Up to 10 years for money laundering.
Legal Actions Under Trump:
1. State Investigations
Trump could push state prosecutors to investigate Hunter on tax, gun, and drug violations.
2. New Federal Investigations
New charges could be pursued if evidence is found related to foreign dealings or corruption.
Cumulative Sentencing: Hunter could face 30-50 years in prison at state level if prosecuted for all crimes.
Conclusion: The federal pardon shields Hunter from federal charges, but with Trump in office, state-level investigations could lead to decades of prison time and heavy financial penalties. The legal risk remains high.
