President Donald Trump tried to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate Joe Biden and Hunter Biden by ending foreign aid to Ukraine. This caused an impeachment inquiry in September 2019, in which the President was not impeached.^[2][3][4]

Biden was a member of the board of directors of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, from 2014 to 2019.

Biden was on the board of Burisma Holdings from 2014 to 2019.^{[5][6][7][8][9][10]}

In December 2024, president Joe Biden gave a pardon (in regard to the crimes of) Hunter Biden; According to media, "In this case, the president's ... pardon covers any [federal crimes or] potential federal crimes the younger Biden may have [... done] during a period of more than 10 years from January 2014 to December 2024".^[12]

"Biden [was] scheduled to be sentenced in the gun case in November" 2024, according to media; However, the judge "will likely cancel the sentencing" hearing, according to media.^[13][14] (A hearing is a legal procedure done before a judge, without a jury.)

Earlier (and in 2023), Biden admitted to "illegally owning a gun while a drug user", because he knowingly denied drug use when applying for a permit to buy a gun.^[15]

A "former employee of the ... gun store that sold Hunter the gun", gave testimony in court about a (document or) form, that the prosecution is using as evidence: "That form is wrong"; The employee claims that the form is missing^[16] information [that was on the form that the employee had used].

Biden "will face three criminal counts for allegedly buying a gun while in the throes [or influence] of addiction to crack cocaine", according to media.^[17][18] In September 2023, Biden was indicted by a special council in Delaware on three federal firearms-related charges.^[19]

On June 11, 2024, Biden was found guilty on three felony charges for federal gun violations.^[20][21] The conviction made the 54-year old, the first child of a sitting U.S. president to be convicted in a criminal trial.^[22]

In September 2024, Biden told the federal court system, that he was guilty of the charges in the case about tax evasion; There will be no trial (in the tax case); Biden [was] scheduled to be sentenced in December; However, the judge "will likely cancel the sentencing" hearing, according to media.^[13][17][23]

Earlier (July 26, 2023), Biden pled not guilty to tax charges for filing two years of his tax returns late.^[24][25] Biden pled guilty on June 20, 2023, but changed his mind.^[26]

Biden's taxes have been investigated since 2018.
