Prosecutors are weighing charges against Hunter Biden as the investigation into President Joe Biden’s son reaches a critical juncture, according to new reports.
The investigation led by David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware, is considering whether to bring charges of tax violations, foreign lobbying violations, and more, according to multiple reports.

While no decision on charges has been made, recent discussions among investigators have also considered charges for making a false statement in connection to the purchase of a firearm. Biden has acknowledged he struggled with drug addiction during that period, which should have prevented him from obtaining the weapons, sources told CNN.
Biden has been under federal investigation since 2018 over his financial and business dealings in foreign countries dating back to when his father was vice president. As the investigation heads toward the finish line, prosecutors are also debating whether DOJ guidelines surrounding politically sensitive investigations during an election year apply.
Republican lawmakers have indicated they will open their own investigation into Biden and his business dealings, including payments to Russia-linked escorts, if they win a majority in the House of Representatives. The GOP is heavily favored to win back the lower chamber.

Biden has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, and his father is not being scrutinized as part of the investigation, sources said.
