Hunter Biden indicted on tax charges in California in new criminal case

Charges come in addition to federal firearms charges and intensify pressure on president's son ahead of 2024 election

Hunter Biden has been indicted on nine tax charges in California, becoming the second indictment against the president's son, adding fuel to a scandal that Republicans have been seizing on in the lead-up to the 2024 election.

The state charges on Thursday follow federal firearms charges in Delaware alleging Biden unlawfully obtained a revolver in October 2018 after he falsely stated he was not using narcotic drugs.
