WASHINGTON, D.C. – The children of the out-going and in-coming Presidents are currently facing investigations.
Last week, the daughter of outgoing President Donald Trump (leaving office on January 20, 2021), Ivanka Trump, was deposed in a closed-door hearing in connection to mis-using inauguration funds. Ivanka complained that the hearing, which she says lasted 5 hours, was “politically motivated” by Democrats. Authorities say the inauguration activities, much of which took place at Trump properties, charged exorbitant rates, which violates law. The (non-profit inauguration committee for Trump) … violated District law when it wasted approximately $1 million of charitable funds in overpayment for the use of event space at the Trump Hotel, owned and controlled by the Trump Entities. The list of grievances is somewhat sizable; an example the inauguration paid for event space on days when it did not hold official events and when other organizations were actually using the same space, along with other fees that were as much as double normal fees.
Meanwhile, the son of incoming President Joe Biden (taking office on January 20, 2021), Hunter Biden, is under investigation for his “tax affairs”. It has been reported that Hunter Bien has a tax lien against him for over $100,000.
According to a statement by Hunter Biden:
I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs. I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.
Statement from the Biden-Harris Transition:
President-elect Biden is deeply proud of his son, who has fought through difficult challenges, including the vicious personal attacks of recent months, only to emerge stronger.
