According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Hunter’s charges stem from 2017 and 2018, when the president’s son failed to pay income taxes and owed over $100,000 for each tax period.
Additionally, Hunter was caught in hot water when it was discovered that he fibbed about his battle with substance abuse on an application to obtain a firearm, which he illegally possessed.
After meeting with Hunter’s attorneys, the Trump-appointed U.S. prosecutor dropped a felony gun charge that the first son faced in late June. It was understood that the plea deal removed potential jail time in exchange for a guilty plea.
