From The New York Post By Jesse OâNeill March 17,2022
A lawyer for the mother of Hunter Bidenâs 3-year-old daughter expects the presidentâs son âto be indictedâ for tax fraud, a report said.
Attorney Clint Lancaster made the stunning prediction while confirming in an interview with CNBC that his client Lunden Roberts recently testified in Delaware before a federal grand jury in the criminal investigation into the 52-year-old presidential scion.
Attorney Clint Lancaster made the stunning prediction while confirming in an interview with CNBC that his client Lunden Roberts recently testified in Delaware before a federal grand jury in the criminal investigation into the 52-year-old presidential scion.
âI expect him to be indicted,â Lancaster told the outlet, referring to Hunter Biden. âJust based on what I saw in his financial records, I would be surprised if heâs not indicted.
Lancaster said Roberts, the 31-year-old mother of Hunter Bidenâs young daughter, handed over âa significant amount of Hunterâs financial recordsâ to federal prosecutors after being subpoenaed last month.
âTheyâre all in electronic form,â Lancaster reportedly said of the financial data given to the feds. âI would estimate it was anywhere from 10 gigs of data.â
Roberts reportedly appeared before the jury for several hours on Feb. 15 and was photographed by the Daily Mail outside the courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware.
She had declined to speak with a reporter upon leaving that day.
Roberts, a former stripper from Arkansas, was once on Hunter Bidenâs payroll at his consulting firm. She sued him for child support in 2020.
The presidentâs son reached a settlement, despite initially denying fathering 3-year-old Navy Joan, whom he has never met.
âItâs sad, because the baby looks like him, with blond hair,â Lancaster said in the CNBC interview about Bidenâs absence.
The federal investigation into Hunter Bidenâs alleged tax fraud began in 2014 and dovetailed with a probe into his overseas business affairs as his father ran for president.
An exclusive 2020 report by The Post revealed how Hunter Biden had leveraged then-Vice President Joe Bidenâs political clout to gain influence with Ukrainian energy firm Burisma.
Hunter Biden sat on the board of the Burisma from 2014 to 2019 for a reported $600,000 annual salary.
âI saw a lot of informationâ that is âproblematicâ for Biden, Lancaster reportedly said.
âIâm not making any statements about what was in the tax records, whether he paid taxes, or whether he didnât pay taxes.â
The Post reported last month that another ex-fling of Hunter Bidenâs, Zoe Kestan, 28, also testified in front of a federal grand jury considering evidence in the first sonâs tax probe.
The lawyerâs statements came on the heels of a New York Times report that revealed Hunter Biden had taken out a loan to settle his seven-figure tax bill amid the continuing fraud investigation.
Hunter Biden has denied all allegations of impropriety.
