The Department of Justice alleged that Hunter Biden was hired by Romanian businessman Gabriel Popoviciu to influence U.S. government policy while his father, Joe Biden, was vice president.
Prosecutors claim Hunter and his associates received over $3 million from Popoviciu between 2015 and 2017, disguising it as a payment for real estate services to avoid potential “political ramifications” for his father.
Popoviciu was facing corruption charges in his home country at the time.
This accusation is part of Hunter Biden’s federal tax case. He faces charges for allegedly failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2020. The trial is scheduled for September.
