Hunter Biden Indicted on Tax Fraud Charges
Hunter Biden has been indicted in California on three felonies and six misdemeanors related to allegations of tax fraud. Prosecutors claim that he failed to pay over $1.4 million in federal taxes between 2016 and 2019, instead using the money for an extravagant lifestyle including payments to women, clothing and accessories, and miscellaneous purchases. These new charges come as House Republicans threaten to hold Hunter in contempt of Congress. If convicted, he could face up to 17 years in prison.
House Republicans Demand Hunter Biden Testify
House Republicans have subpoenaed Hunter Biden to be deposed in a closed session of the committee, but Hunter's attorney insists that he will only testify in front of the American people. Republicans argue that Hunter should not receive special treatment and offer to release the entire transcript from his closed-door deposition. If Hunter refuses to testify on December 13th, Republicans may move to hold him in contempt of Congress, which could result in legal consequences such as fines and imprisonment.
Bodega Workers in New York City Seek Concealed Carry Licenses
Hundreds of Bodega owners in New York City have applied for concealed carry gun permits with assistance from their union.

The Bodega Union formed a secret society of gun owners to help members obtain concealed carry licenses, connecting them with the required classes. The move comes in response to a series of deadly crimes against Bodega workers in recent years, highlighting the need for self-defense.
