US prosecutors revealed that they’re probing Hunter Biden’s taxes, leading to more calls for a special counsel to be appointed to avoid a situation in which the president’s son is being investigated by his own administration.
The son of nominal President-elect Joe Biden issued a statement on Wednesday, saying that the US Attorney’s Office in his home state of Delaware notified his lawyers that “they are investigating my tax affairs.”
He added that he expects a “professional and objective review” to demonstrate that he handled his taxes legally and appropriately with the help of professional advisers.

“This is why Attorney General (William) Barr needs to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden,” US Representative Ken Buck (R-Colorado) said on Twitter. “It would be wildly inappropriate if his dad’s AG was involved in this matter.”
