In a recent court filing, federal prosecutors have accused Hunter Biden of agreeing to lobby US officials on behalf of a Romanian businessman facing criminal investigations in Romania. The allegations were made by special counsel David Weiss, who is prosecuting Hunter Biden for alleged tax evasion. The trial is set to begin in September and involves Hunter Biden's controversial foreign business dealings.
While prosecutors have not charged Hunter Biden with foreign lobbying crimes, they intend to introduce new testimony about the alleged lobbying agreement as evidence in the tax case. According to Weiss, Hunter Biden agreed to influence US public policy by lobbying agencies and officials to investigate improprieties in the Romanian government's case against a wealthy businessman known as G.P.
