members of its own party i give
[288]
everybody an f on the entire spectrum of
[290]
this from the company itself to the fda
[293]
oversight to the interagencies who
[295]
didn't talk to each other to the entire
[298]
problem nobody focused on this like they
[300]
needed to people should also know is
[302]
that when the president on down everyone
[304]
is laser focused on addressing this
[307]
issue and pulling every lever possible
[309]
to do so that's why we are working now

sluggish sales in 60 seconds our
[800]
in-depth look at the federal criminal
[802]
investigation of hunter biden's taxes
[805]
and his work overseas and how the
[807]
president's son paid off a two million
[809]
dollar tax bill
[812]
back now with our investigation into
[814]
president biden's son hunter who's
[816]
facing that ongoing federal criminal
[819]
probe into his finances hallie jackson
[822]
with details about how he paid off his
[824]
nearly 2 million irs bill and what nbc
[827]
news is found so far from a copy of his
[830]
hard drive and icloud account
[834]
the president's son under growing
[836]
scrutiny tonight over his finances with
[838]
federal prosecutors in delaware
[840]
investigating hunter biden and whether
[842]
he broke federal tax law now a
[844]
representative for mr biden tells nbc
[846]
news his bill from the irs about 2
[849]
million dollars has been paid off
[852]
two people familiar with the matter say
[854]
the money was arranged by one of the
[855]
younger biden's new attorneys hollywood
[858]
lawyer kevin morris best known for
[860]
brokering a deal for the south park tv
[862]
show
[863]
does paying that tax bill wash away any
[866]
liability that hunter biden may have now
[869]
paying the tax bill if in fact that's
[871]
what he did doesn't undo the crime it
[873]
would be like returning money to a bank
[875]
that you robbed you still robbed the
[877]
bank the president's son and his company
[879]
brought in about 11 million dollars
[881]
between 2013 and 2018 including some
[884]
years in which his father was vice
[886]
president working as an attorney a board
[888]
member to a ukrainian gas company
[890]
accused of bribing a prosecutor and for
[892]
a joint venture involving a chinese
[894]
businessman now accused of fraud
[896]
according to an nbc news analysis of a
[898]
copy of biden's hard drive and icloud
[900]
account as well as documents released by
[902]
a senate committee during the campaign
[904]
then candidate joe biden denied his son
[907]
profited off a china connection my son
[909]
has not made money
[911]
in terms of this thing about
[913]
what are you talking about china the
[915]
records show hunter biden's company
[917]
received nearly 5 million dollars in
[919]
consulting contracts from that joint
[921]
venture funded by a chinese energy
[923]
company a snapshot of hunter biden
[925]
spending shows that for about five
[926]
months in late 2017 and early 2018 he
[929]
spent more than 200 thousand dollars a
[931]
month on things like luxury hotel rooms
[934]
cash withdrawals dental work and
[936]
payments on a porsche according to
[938]
documents on the hard drive a time
[940]
period in which hunter biden has
[941]
acknowledged struggling with drug
[942]
addiction the immediate focus appears to
[945]
be for both the president and hunter
[946]
biden is whether or not there'll be any
[948]
charges as a result of this federal
[950]
criminal investigation hunter biden's
[952]
laptop a subject of controversy after
[954]
documents recovered from it were brought
[956]
to light by the biden's political
[957]
opponents with some cyber security
[959]
experts at one point in 2020 suggesting
[962]
it bore hallmarks of a russian
[963]
disinformation campaign since then
[965]
several news organizations have
[967]
authenticated many emails from the
[968]
laptop and nbc news obtained a copy of
[970]
the hard drive from a representative for
[972]
rudy giuliani the president has defended
[975]
his son
[980]
and hunter biden has denied any illegal
[983]
business dealings i'm cooperating
[986]
completely and i am absolutely certain
[988]
100 certain that at the end of the
[991]
investigation
[992]
that i will be cleared of any wrongdoing
[995]
experts point out family members of a
[997]
president who hold no official job in
[998]
the administration are not bound by any
[1000]
government ethics rules hunter biden
[1003]
seems a lot like somebody whose primary
[1005]
profession is being joe biden's son
[1009]
but unless there's a direct connection
[1011]
to joe biden that's really more of a
[1013]
criticism of one private citizen rather
[1016]
than a government official or an
[1017]
administration
[1019]
hunter biden's attorney did not comment
[1020]
on the record and the white house has
[1022]
not responded to our request for comment
