Prosecutors say Hunter Biden was hired by a Romanian businessman who was trying to “influence U.S. government agencies” during Joe Biden’s term as vice president.
Find Insider Deals for items perfect around the house and on the gowas hired by a Romanian businessman accused of corruption who was trying to “influence U.S. government policy” during Joe Biden 's term as vice president, prosecutors said in court papers Wednesday.
Prosecutors say Hunter Biden agreed with his business associate to help Popoviciu fight the criminal charges against him. But prosecutors say they were concerned that “lobbying work might cause political ramifications” for Joe Biden, so the arrangement was structured in a way that “concealed the true nature of the work” for Popoviciu, prosecutors allege.
The claims were made in court papers as prosecutors responded to a request by Hunter Biden's legal team to bar from his upcoming trial any reference to allegations of improper political influence that have dogged the president's son for years. While Republicans’ investigation has raised ethical questions, no evidence has emerged that the president acted corruptly or accepted bribes in his current role or his previous office as vice president.
Still, prosecutors say what Hunter Biden agreed to do for Popoviciu is relevant at trial because it “demonstrates his state and mind and intent” during the years he's accused of failing to pay his taxes.
