Hunter Biden could face prison time after failing to register as a foreign agent amid leaked voicemail that reveals that his father knew about his shady business relationship with China.
According to the New York Post, Hunter never registered under the federal Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
“[The law] mandates individuals acting as “an agent, representative, employee, or servant … at the order, request, or under the direction or control of a ‘foreign principal,’” must register with the US government. Failing to do so is a crime punishable by up to five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine,” the Post reported.
The phrase “foreign principal” can include government officials, political organizations, foreign corporations, influential private interests, and more.
“The recent disclosures of additional foreign contacts has only strengthened what was already a strong case. Indeed, in the last few weeks, the compelling basis for a FARA charge has becomes unassailable and undeniable,” George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley said of Biden’s dealings. “The influence peddling schemes directly reference the president and [Joe Biden] is repeatedly cited as a possible recipient of funds.”
Hunter is already under federal criminal investigation after banks flagged four of his transactions as “potential criminal activity,” including a suspicious deposit of $100,000 that came from China.
Additionally, a 2018 voicemail was recently discovered on Hunter’s laptop that reveals that Joe Biden knew about his son’s corrupt criminal activity, which he denied in the past.
“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Joe said in 2019.
Following the shocking audio leak, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said that he is looking for ways to investigate the Biden family’s business ties to China.
“We have uncovered some answers, but many questions remain,” McCarthy wrote. “In November, the American people will decide whether they accept being told what information they are allowed to know by a colluding media, including who is making policy decisions for this country and for whose interests. A Republican majority will be committed to uncovering the facts the Democrats, Big Tech and the legacy media have suppressed.”
To make matters worse, Hunter’s business partner Devon Archer was recently sentenced for his role in a $60 million scheme to defraud a Native American tribe. The president’s son was not involved in the scheme but it does paint a picture of what kinds of people the Bidens surround them with.
