Hunter Biden, son of President Biden, has been indicted in California on tax charges for failing to pay nearly $200,000 of income tax in 2019. House Republicans are considering initiating an impeachment inquiry into President Biden over his possible ties to his son's business dealings. Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to federal gun charges in a separate case.
He could potentially face two criminal trials next year. The charges were brought by special counsel David Weiss, who has been overseeing the federal probe into Hunter Biden.
