Hunter Biden, son of Democratic candidate Joe Biden, reportedly failed to disclose $400,000 in income he received from Burisma in his 2014 tax returns, according to an email from one of his business associates.
The email from Eric Schwerin, then-president of Rosemont Seneca Partners, informed Hunter Biden that he failed to include his total earnings from the Ukrainian gas company in 2014.
Schwerin sent the email on Jan. 16, 2017, asking Hunter Biden to “amend’ his 2014 tax returns with the earnings from Burisma.
“In 2014 you joined the Burisma board and we still need to amend your 2014 returns to reflect the unreported Burisma income,” Schwerin’s email to Hunter reads, according to NBC News.
The email was obtained from Rudy Giuliani’s attorney Robert Costello, who said he was given a copy of Hunter Biden’s hard drive from the owner of a computer repair shop in Delaware.
This same hard drive was made available to much of the media back in October, but the media refused to pay attention to this scandal until after the presidential election.
Schwerin’s email to Hunter Biden was discovered shortly after Hunter Biden revealed federal authorities are probing his taxes.
“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,” Hunter Biden announced.
“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,” he said.
The federal investigations, however, encompass far more than Hunter Biden’s taxes.
On Friday, Fox News reported that Hunter Biden is under yet another criminal investigation that appears to be focused specifically on his business dealings with China and his relationship with Burisma.
Congressional Republicans have been trying to investigate Hunter Biden as well, but Hunter Biden’s attorneys have refused to work with them, according to Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc.
