Committee docs shed light on Hunter Biden’s escort payments, potential Mann Act violations

The documents released by the House Ways and Means Committee last week shed new light on Hunter Biden’s reported interactions with escorts, including his claiming a tax deduction for payments to the women as business expenses. The documents also disclose documentation of investigators considering Mann Act charges.

Contained in the highly redacted documents the House Ways and Means Committee released last Wednesday are an interview with an “escort” identified as Gulnora and with Hunter Biden’s tax accountant who helped him prepare his tax returns for 2017 and 2018.

In spring of 2021, when the IRS investigative team interviewed Jeffrey Gelfound of Edward White & Company who prepared the younger Biden’s delinquent personal and corporate tax returns for 2017 and 2018, they discovered that Hunter Biden identified payments to an “escort” as a business expense.

In his closed door testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee this summer, whistleblower Ziegler identified tens of thousands of dollars in payments that Hunter Biden made to prostitutes and a sex club. These payments were deducted as business expenses on his tax returns, the payments to Gulnora among them.

At least with the McCarthy and house leadership issues, the media has something else to report on other than the Biden corruption. I'm sure they are pleased about that! There is only a few ways they can spin things in Biden's favor and those goal posts are getting heavy.

Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden used tax money to pay for sex club, prostitute

Hunter Biden made payments to a prostitute and a sex club by deducting tens of thousands of dollars from his taxes.

Hunter Biden has avoided paying a huge amount in taxes by writing off his erotic parties as business expenses. As per a report by New York Post, he made payments to a prostitute and a sex club by deducting tens of thousands of dollars from his taxes.

The report quotes one whistleblower, an unnamed IRS criminal investigator, who spoke on how Hunter underreported his income and avoided paying $106,000 in taxes. House Ways and Means Committee is investigating into alleged tax fraud, by Hunter who is President Biden’s son, on his 2018 return

“So some of the items that he deducted were personal no-show employees. He deducted payments that were made to who he called his West Coast assistant, but she was essentially a prostitute,” said the whistleblower in an interview to the committee.

Another whistleblower, IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley, highlighted how Hunter expensed flights for prostitutes to his consulting firm, Owasco PC.

“There were multiple examples of prostitutes that were ordered basically, and we have all the communications between that where he would pay for these prostitutes, would book them a flight where even the flight ticket showed their name. And then he expensed those,” said Shapley in his testimony.

The whistleblowers busted that Hunter expensed a deposit for an elite Los Angeles sex club membership by listing it as a golf membership.

“He made payments – there’s an $18,000 wire that is made to one of these individuals, and on the wires they say $8,000 in wage and $10,000 in golf – $10k golf club member deposit. And we know that that $10,000 went to pay for a sex club,” the anonymous IRS investigator told Congress.

“He went to a sex club, and we’ve talked to the person that owned that sex club, and they confirmed that he was there. And the guy has to pay $10,000, and the girl – whoever is referring him there doesn’t have to pay anything. So that was deducted on the tax return,” added the whistleblower.

FTA——“There were multiple examples of prostitutes that Hunter ordered; we have all the communications where Hunter would pay for prostitutes, book them a flight-—the flight ticket showed their name,” Gary Shapley, one of the IRS whistleblowers, testified to Congress in May.

“And then Hunter expensed those,” on his tax forms, Shapely added.

“And instances of Hunter flying people across State lines, paying for their travel, paying for their hotels,” Joseph Ziegler testified. “They were what we call Mann Act violations.”

“And were those Mann Act violations referred to the Biden Justice Department?” a committee investigator asked.

“I know that they were compiling them together. I don’t know what the Biden DOJ ended up doing with them. I know there was an effort at some point to compile them, but I don’t know what ultimately happened with them,” Ziegler said.

Abbe Lowell—attorney for Hunter Biden—did not respond to a request for comment from Just the News.

LOL. It’s strains believability, that you’re paying someone for this sort of thing ,and that somehow you can take a tax deduction for it.

Was he honest with his CPA about the type of expense this was?

I’m thinking given his huge income and complexities, he had a CPA do his income tax returns. He didn’t just key the numbers into a program such as TurboTax to come up with the numbers.
