Prosecutors have considered three tax crimes and a charge related to a gun purchase against Hunter Biden, according to two sources familiar with the matter. An IRS special agent has asked Congress for whistleblower protection over a high-profile case, which a source familiar with the matter confirms is related to Biden. Biden’s lawyer said “it appears” the agent has “committed a crime” by sharing private tax information. NBC News’ Hallie Jackson reports.

#NBCNews #HunterBiden #Investigation
Come to see all the crackheads take up for hunter and blame trump. 😂😂😂
All these rich connected type people no matter the political side always reap the benefits of being powerful and getting away with things that the average citizen can’t.
It is called a dictatorship sir.
@EarthSurferUSA no stupid, it’s called being rich and powerful
The only people above the law are DEMOCRATS(aka, Communist) and the liberal elite. As Nancy Pelosi says, you are guilty untill ya prove your innocence.
Wait a second I thought Joe Biden said the lab top as a Russian plant are you telling me he lied wow I wouldn’t of voted for him if I known this
Neither would 13% of the voters who cast their votes for Biden, according to polls.
NBC is actually reporting this? Uh oh.
@C Doe don’t need any,Trump is innocent
Look, the entire deal is about to go down,whether you want to believe it or not, makes no difference…the fit is about to hit the sham, and Kudos to NBC to get on top of the story…ABC and CBS are going to reget not getting behind this story, before the levee finally breaks…again, Kudos to NBC for reporting on what soon will be a historic story….finally, someone at NBC has the intestinal fortitude to do what’s right.
This is admirable and.very brave…it’s time to show the American Public what objective journalism truly is…honest and necessary in these troubling times…NBC, you are the beacon of hope for this country…don’t lose your way in speaking the truth…God bless.
after years of supporting the unsubstantiated evidence against others and slow rolling or not providing news to the public about Biden’s potential crimes, the burden of Biden’s administration’s corruption is to much to bare…….it must be reported.
That just means admitting it won’t do any damage now.
Suspect
Wow they learn very well from Trump Kushner 2 billions because of father in law president.
This is the beginning of the end of the Biden presidency 😂😂😂😂😂
The walls are closing in on the Biden presidency 😂😂😂😂
This is the day the tables turned on the Biden presidency 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Biden crime family has been exposed 😂😂😂😂😂
Biden will likely be impeached over these charges 😂😂😂
Hunter can’t pass a criminal background check in order to purchase a firearm but he had access to top secret documents in Joes garage. This is just the beginning.
different requirements and standards.
Even worse for Trump as his son-in-law Jared Kushner couldn’t pass a background check from the FBI and was allowed in top Secret White House briefings.
Paying $50k a month in rent at pops house 😆
It’s much much more than just taxes ! And Biden was caught paying The FBI s Wray, and DOJs Garland including a bunch of top democrats politicians off to!…
Naturally the democrats are going to side with old Joe and Hunter, because they to, are evil treasonic traitor, criminals
Actual news being broadcasted from this government ran news agency is mind blowing. This poor whistle blower is going to need 24/7 security, the whistleblower is going to be clintoned, the next article will be he’s a Russian spy or he will of committed suicide with two gun shots to the back of the head.
why didn’t the whistleblower bring up any of this years ago, when it actually occurred?
@Vinn CubusI think they did bring it up wright before the presidential election, the gentleman now lives in a foreign country. Don’t worry Biden is on his way out.
@Vinn Cubus I would have asked the same about Supreme Court Justice Kavenaugh and his many accusers. I would also add that following the hearings a lengthy investigation was conducted, and one by one, his accusers were found to be lying and politically motivated.
@SamIAm his accusers were not all found to be lying and/or politically motivated – that was yet another lie by Donald J Trump
regardless, those two situations are not the same but I’m not going to try and explain Logical Fallacies 101 to you
Fake news would crap their panties
There is nothing to do with Hunter. This guy just wants to get back at the Bidens. Otherwise, he would have made charges long ago!!!
Joe thinks he is the law
Dear gubment take LLM A.I. out of the public sector..Xi😂you acting like a jock strap and I don’t wear one stay out my bitness..😂I’m about to dust you Ecclesiastes 9:11..https://youtu.be/BSzMuJHnnNo
We the people would be in jail years ago ‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I bet he is a Republican that voted for Trump
Prison for joe
Too bad Republicans set precedent in defending a President no matter the cost.
Hilarious.. NBC the same liberal media that ran the Russia hoax and the Hunter laptop disinformation campaign…
Russia collusion was proven in 2017 by Republican Senators. 1,000 page report is available as a PDF online for you to read.
You can read about how Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Right now. You can read it right now.
@Vinn CubusWhat part of the report stated Trump received anything by having a relationship with Russia?
@Rack Where him and his campaign benefitted directly from Russian agents working against the DNC
FINALLY…….ABSOLUTELY FINALLY!!!!!!
It’s amazing.that NBC IS REPORTING THIS…MAYBE THE WORM IS FINALLY TURNING…FINALLY!
The Russians made him do it
NBC just can’t present anything without bias . Keep trying to protect the bidens.
The MSNBC Network is just as scabby as FAKE NEWS CNN.
The house of cards is falling
I can’t believe these accusations against an honest law abiding family like the Bidens. There is no one one planet earth more honest than Joe Biden or more humanitarian. Just look at how the Biden’s have helped Ukraine and China. Joe will get to helping Americans in his next term that he will win with 100 billion votes.
Hunter Biden is not in politics! Go after the Trumps and leave the Bidens alone!
Seriously?
Hunter Biden is a crook he need’s to be brought to justice.
Rampant corruption exists in the United States government. The Washington SWAMP is bigger than anyone IMAGINED
Trump’s adult children should also be investigated for their crimes too!
Awee, are you mad?? 😂
Which crime?
Wow look at NBC reporting on TheBidenCrimeFamily I never knew
All of this Russian disinformation is really adding up. 😂
u mean he did something wrong and has not been charged,,,, ? well he was president for 4 yrs
Garland and Joe are just as dirty as Hunter.
Find the crimes and convict REGARDLESS OF PARTY!
anyone who says hunter or joey is guilty
I wish these paid officials stop all this BS and help the country
Give him conditional immunity and if he’s lying, prosecute him. Let the truth be exposed for what it honestly is in all cases.
if hunter actually intended to tell the truth he wouldn’t be alive.
This is the least of Hunter Bidens’ crimes. Joe’s in on all of it, at 10%
Biden crime family. Americans wake up or bury your heads in the sand as per usual.
Is Joe still working for China??
Hahaha! Even Leftist HACKS like NBC and CBS are reporting AGAINST their Commie pal…. Doesn’t seem to be a good thing for Commie Joe and the Biden Crime Syndicate
Thank you NBC! As an old man, I hope America will once again yearn for and value “Journalistic Honesty.” The press have immense power, which is why it has special privileges guaranteed under the United States Constitution. However, as we used to say in the military: *_With rank comes privileges, but it also comes with “responsibilities.” When much of the media left their founding professional ethics of reporting with “honesty,” and instead opted for “Advocacy Journalism,” that’s when the “spin” started and why much of America has lost faith in our media. During my youth CBS’ Walter Cronkite was regarded as “the most trusted man in America” year after year. “Truth” was a time-honored virtue back then._*
Your favorite Fox entertainment “News”just paid 700 millions for spreading lies.
Good luck agent .u got this
Thanks NBC for airing this.
I say let it all play out in the sunshine, so it’s not classified as Russian misinformation.
I’d say I have hope that Biden’s corruption will be exposed and he’ll be held accountable for his actions but he’s not Trump so I won’t hold my breath.
Trump was better
But orange man bad
The Bidens are up to their eyeballs in illegal activity but the media ignore it. No wonder we don’t trust journalist, news media or the talking heads. Shameful. They should be our watchdogs. Not any more. Their bias has taken over.
Just charge the crackhead and get on with it. The longer they delay the inevitable the longer it’s a story. Hunter and Trump can share a federal prison cell.
Anyone remember the old footage of Biden boldly lying about his achievements while campaigning, years ago? Biden has always been shady and corrupt. Come on America, WE DESERVE BETTER from our government.
“The president believes in the rule of law” – Funny joke
Younstill have nothing butna laptop, lies, lies, lies, chronic gossip!
Got them scattering like fleas 😂😂😂
Lick the world.
The fact that NBC is reporting a negative story about Joe Biden and his associated criminal affiliations is telling on the severity of these accusations
I was looking to see if any dem media cover this. Lol, I was hoping some dem media cover this. They investigated got the evidence fixing to charge then nothing, now why thank for these Whistle-blowers for coming forward. If the evidence cks out Garland would have lied under oath and is obstructing justice. Also Biden ordered the raid on Trump and lied he knew about it, (evidence from the archives communication), also the house evidence from a supeana that Biden had classified docs in Feb lied about it and ordered the raid on Trump. Finally it’s coming to light.
Lol at the comments. Hunter isn’t the president 😅
No he is just the bagman for Joe and the Biden crime family.
MAGA IRS agent …No surprise he thinks there was a crime committed! give us a BREAK reporting on this nonsense
Time to get OVER this OBSESSION with Hunter BIDEN ,..fools !
They just CANT seem to Pin anything on him !! because theres nothing THERE !!
That’s not ALL he’s guilty of. We are taking about a depraved, disgusting, diabolical individual.
side note if the whistleblower saw hunter bidens taxes that is a crime. but idc either way
This is OLD news. Today we have the ex CIA DIRECTOR willing to testify ! the walls are closing in. Once someone blows the whistle, others will gather courage and do the same.
Trump was getting impeached with a whistle blower. WHY ARE THE BIDENS ALL ABOVE THE LAW. I think it’s disgusting. The FBI and the DOJ protect this family. It is not fair and dishonest.
Funny when they leak trumps taxes nobody said a word that it was a crime
The left is unbelievably disingenuous. Even more so when you point that out to them.
Hunter should know better then to threaten a federal employee
I understand republican and democrats disagree but we have to see the evidence and go forward from there. Both side are bought and sold politically partisan hacks.
Eh you’ll be fine . Just don’t spill dirt on a clinton .
Like father like son, they’re both crooks & pathological liars!
All the proof and no actions being taken
Let’s see. Joe Biden wrote the 93 crime bill that made a distinction between cocaine and crack making the possession and sales of the ladder an offense with a mandatory minimum of 25 years with no possibility of parole. Hunters laptop absolutely shows that he is in violation of that law and has been for many years yet he clearly isn’t doing 25 years in prison. So is there preferential treatment? Nah none at all.
Thell go after the whistle blower.
Thank God that never happened with Trump. 🙄
THEY NEED TO PROTECT THIS WHISTLEBLOWER WITH EVERYTHING THEY HAVE .BECAUSE THREATS ARE BEING THOWEN AROUND.WHY DO YOU THINK BIDEN IS STILL PRESIDENT ?
President Biden has the full support of the Roswell Extra-terrestrials and the All Powerful Witch, known as Hillary Rodham Clinton’ !
President Biden is still President, because the Mayan God, Oligerax has his back.
Your turn
Hunter works at the pentagon, preferential treatment? Federal investigation over two years, and no charge? Pretty sure they jail, or expose regular citizens for less than what Hunters pulled.
Of course the I.R.S. whistleblower is getting protection. He knows his LIFE and his families life depends on it!
HE OR SHE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO KEEP THEMSELVES OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT! WHOEVER THIS IS DEFINITELY WILL HAVE A TARGET ON THEIR BACK!
Did this alleged whistleblower follow the proper whistleblower protocol ?
What is the federal government whistleblower policy?
Overview of the WPA – The Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA) (5 U.S.C. § 2302(b)(8)) protects Federal employees or applicants for Federal employment from retaliation for making protected disclosures. The WPA also provides penalties for supervisors who retaliate against Whistleblowers.
bring the filthy bidens to justice, I heard “no one is above law” live and die by that biden
MSDNC
Turns out the laptop is true and the hunter family is completely corrupt and has been for years.
Time to change my vote
Trump and Biden LOCK THEM UP LETS GO JUSTICE FOR AMERICANS
It’s just amazing that the Biden’s continue …. Period. They just go on and on with their corrupt behavior and none of the democrats in congress or the senate give a rip. Hmmm maybe they’re in it too? Notice the Biden’s got most of their money from the Ukraine and china and everyone knows they’ve got the goods on him and that’s why he does their bidding…we’re literally going broke, ppl kicked off of food stamps while we send billions to the Ukraine. Biden, Harris, garland blinked….they’re laughing all the way to the bank.
Someone has BDS
Hmm this didnt take 6 years like Trump tax audit excuse lol whatever it is! Put them all in jail if they committed a crime
Biden crime Family is suing the Pawn Shop Owner for providing private information to the public. When you abandoned said laptop at a Pawn Shop by not paying your bill it is no longer your property. Read the agreement crack head , oh did I say that our loud ?
Question: “Mr. President, is there evidence of a cover up?”. Answer: “I want vanilla with sprinklies”.
B.S. runs in the Biden family.
It’s about time the mainstream media has covered for the Biden crime family! People who actually think for themselves have known about all of this for 3 years!
Joe Biden used his drug addicted son to launder millions and millions of dollars and most of us have known all of this for at least 3 years! The FBI and the mainstream media are covering for the Biden crime family!
When will the Biden crime family of Delaware go to the POKEY, THE BIG HOUSE, THE FEDERAL PENITENTIARY. MAYBE BRAGG SHOULD INDICT THE CLOWN IN THE WHITEHOUSE
Their still playing this like it’s just hunter…9 say it again 9 Biden family members received money from the Chinese communist party…and the big guy too
Yeah, I’m fine with this…. I despise MAGA and Trump. That being said, enough already, JEEZUS! I don’t give two poo’s about Hunter, if he is innocent of something fine, if not fine… Just do the work of stopping criminals in and around our politics….it makes the government look bad, and that is not fair.
If the whistleblower is some kind of Maga appointment, or “Magagician”, that is perfectly fine…. they are straight up the biggest Todd’s ever, they will sink themselves under examination by democrats….if not? Fine! Hunter means absolutely nothing to me and my freedom if he is guilty, deal it and be done.
Massive corruption including multiple SARS reports involving human trafficking and 9 Biden family members! This is uncovering the most corrupt crime family in US Government ever!
*shocker* preferential treatment for politicians and their friends and family.
The people who make the rules protect their own man what planted are we living kn 😂😂😂😂
Forced to cover it finally
The dept of just us will not do a thing.
