IRS whistleblower testifies Hunter Biden borrowed $5M from a donor, tried to avoid paying taxes on Burisma income

An Internal Revenue Service whistleblower testified that first son Hunter Biden received almost $5 million in loans for personal expenses and attempted to avoid paying taxes on income he made from Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

The loans were received as part of a series of borrowings during President Joe Biden's run for president, Just the News reported, from a Democratic donor named Kevin Patrick Morris.

Over $5 million was lent to Hunter Biden, with funds used to pay off personal expenses and delinquent tax payments.

"Hunter received approximately $4.9 million in payments for personal expenses, again in the form of a loan and gift from Democratic donor Kevin Patrick Morris," IRS agent Joseph Ziegler told the House Ways and Means Committee in closed-door testimony.

"As stated in my previous testimony, I read a note from Hunter Biden’s 2020 tax return that Hunter Biden received a loan from a third party, known to be Kevin Patrick Morris, in paying off Hunter Biden’s delinquent taxes," he added.

The whistleblower described a "pattern" of attempts to avoid paying taxes, including on income earned from the controversial energy company, Burisma Holdings Limited, for which Hunter Biden was a board member.

"Hunter appeared to follow a pattern of attempting to avoid paying taxes on relevant income. This first started with Hunter not reporting the Burisma income in 2014 and allegedly falsely claiming that it was a loan to him," Ziegler testified. "He, again, tried to claim the millions in income earned from Hudson West III was a loan to him, which was refuted by the evidence and was not allowed by his tax accountants."

Hudson West III was a joint venture between Hunter Biden and Chinese businessman Gongwen Dong, according to the Washington Times.

Ziegler went on to claim that the same donor, Morris, made a $160,000 payment "in an attempt to pay off Hunter Biden’s delinquent 2015 tax debt, which was a point of contention with Hunter’s ex-wife at the time."

"Hunter may have been in breach of his marital separation agreement, and Hunter’s ex-wife at the time was having an issue renewing her passport due to the delinquent tax debt," Ziegler went on.

The revelations come at the same time it was revealed by whistleblowers that President Biden had allegedly been using alias email accounts to communicate directly with Hunter Biden's business partners.

The president allegedly used aliases such as "robinware456," "JRBware," and "RobertLPeters" to send emails to his son and his business associates.
