Report: Feds Consider 4 Charges Against Hunter Biden

Federal prosecutors have considered four possible charges against Hunter Biden, including two misdemeanor counts for failure to file taxes, one felony count of tax evasion, and a felony count related to a gun purchase, according to two sources familiar with the matter who spoke with NBC News.
Two officials in the FBI also told NBC News there is "growing frustration" at the agency over the fact that investigators completed their inquiry about a year ago.
The report came two days after the Washington Post said an IRS official sent a letter to Congress alleging that politics are influencing the federal investigation into Biden, son of President Joe Biden.
Mark Lytle, the attorney for the IRS whistleblower, wrote to lawmakers Wednesday that his client has information about a "failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in the ultimate disposition" of a criminal investigation related to Hunter Biden's taxes and whether he made a false statement in connection with a gun purchase.
