Hunter Biden was hired by Romanian businessman trying to 'influence' US agencies, prosecutors say

Hunter Biden was hired by a Romanian businessman accused of corruption who was trying to “influence U.S. government policy” during Joe Biden’s term as vice president, prosecutors said in court papers Wednesday.

Special counsel David Weiss’ team said Hunter Biden’s business associate will testify at the upcoming federal tax trial of the president’s son about the arrangement with the executive, Gabriel Popoviciu, who was facing criminal investigation at the time in Romania.

The allegations are likely to bring a fresh wave of criticism of Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings, which have been the center of Republicans’ investigations into the president’s family. Hunter Biden has blasted Republican inquiries into his family’s business affairs as politically motivated, and has insisted he never involved his father in his business.

I'm so disillusioned that I won't even vote at all this November!

Plus, there aren't any elections I can vote in either.

Harris and Trump aren't the only ones running, nor are they the only offices people will be voting in.

(based on their instance, I'm pretty sure that user is not in the US, which is the joke)

And if this is true, hopefully they charge him and he goes to prison.

Because that’s how things should work.

OK? So if they have proof of Hunter taking money to peddle influence, then charge Hunter with that. If they have proof that Joe, as VP with basically no power whatsoever, knew his son was being AND ALSO took that influence and did something actionable then they can charge Joe. Even if Joe did something actionable (again, as a VP with no power) based on his son's recommendations, I don't know how you can charge Joe unless he knew it was based on being paid. I mean, at what point is taking a recommendation from a paid person any different from listening to lobbyists?
