US President-elect Joe Biden's son Hunter is under investigation for tax affairs. The investigation is being conducted by federal prosecutors in Delaware.
Hunter Biden said he is very serious and confident about investigation that his case would show he had done his works "legally and appropriately". The Biden-Harris team said Biden was "deeply proud of his son".
A statement said that Hunter had "fought through difficult challenges, including the vicious personal attacks of recent months, only to emerge stronger". Hunter Biden said he came to knew about investigation on Tuesday but did not disclose any further details.
Hunter has been targeted frequently from Republican criticism during the 2020 election campaign, focusing on his business dealings in Ukraine and China when Joe Biden was vice-president in the Barack Obama’s administration.
Last December, President Donald Trump was questioned by the Democratic-run House of Representatives on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress stemming from his attempts to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Bidens but Trump was cleared by the Republican-held Senate in February.
