Hunter Biden Cites Trump Impeachment 'Emergency' for Delayed Tax Payment
-
Hunter Biden's lawyer said Trump's impeachment in Feb 2020 created an "emergency" to file unpaid taxes, citing "political risk" of Hunter being called to testify.
-
Lawyer Kevin Morris gave Hunter "at least $5 million" and began paying his tax liability, which House Oversight Chair James Comer called an effort to "insulate" Joe Biden.
-
Trump was acquitted on Feb 5, 2020 on impeachment charges related to a 2019 call pressing Ukraine's president to investigate the Bidens' dealings there.
-
Then-VP Biden successfully urged Ukraine in 2016 to fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma Holdings, where Hunter Biden sat on the board.
-
An FBI form alleges Burisma's CEO was "coerced" into paying the Bidens millions to get the prosecutor fired amid the probe into his firm.
