- Hunter Biden allegedly received a staggering $4.9 million from his ‘sugar brother’ Kevin Morris, much more than the previously reported $2.8 million
- IRS agent Joseph Ziegler revealed the shocking figure at a House Committee hearing on Tuesday
- It comes as Republicans near a vote on an impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s role in his sons foreign dealings
Hunter Biden received a staggering $4.9 million from his ‘sugar brother’ Kevin Morris, an IRS Whistleblower has claimed.
Lawyer Kevin Morris allegedly loaned the President’s son millions of dollars after the pair met at a campaign fundraiser in December 2019.
IRS agent Joseph Ziegler declared the shocking figure with additional documentation on Tuesday with the House Ways & Means Committee as Hunter faces two charges of tax evasion.
Morris, a Hollywood lawyer who made a fortune from a South Park TV deal, was dubbed Hunter’s ‘sugar brother’ after he reportedly paid off up to $2.8 million of the First Son’s tax bill in an attempt to placate prosecutors.
The new figures alleged by Ziegler are a substantial increase on previous reports.

It comes as House Republicans near an expected vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry into President Biden for his alleged role in Hunter’s foreign dealings.
Ziegler, who investigated Hunter’s taxes for five years before he was removed from the case this year, provided legislators with further documents including an email on Tuesday dating to February 2020.
The communication reportedly reveals how less than two months after they met, Morris was contacting accountants on Hunter’s behalf and warning them to work quickly to avoid ‘considerable risk personally and politically.’
Ziegler claimed Hunter’s income from Morris, at least some of it described as loans, reflected Hunter’s alleged practice of trying to avoid paying taxes on other income by describing it as loans.
‘Hunter appeared to follow a pattern of attempting to avoid paying taxes on relevant income. This first started with Hunter not reporting the [Ukrainian gas company] Burisma income in 2014 and allegedly falsely claiming that it was a loan to him,’ Ziegler said in his statement.
‘He, again, tried to claim the millions in [Chinese] 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’ he explained.
Adding: ‘This continued into 2020, 2021 and 2022, in which 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.’
A Los Angeles grand jury reportedly is considering tax charges against Hunter, the New York Post reported.

In July Hunter visited Morris, who also bought several pieces of Hunter’s art, which has prices up to $500,000, at his Pacific Palisades home where the lawyer was photographed appearing to smoke from a bong.
While Hunter was at the house, Morris was snapped on a balcony in plain view of the public street appearing to huff from a white bong, in photos exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com.
It is not clear what substance was in Morris’s bong, and recreational marijuana use is legal in California.
Biden’s son currently faces three felony charges that carry a maximum combined 25 years incarceration and $250,000 fine.
The first count is for lying on a 2018 gun purchase form that he was not an illicit drug user, and has a top sentence of 10 years. The second count is for lying to the gun store about it, which could net him up to five years. The third is for possessing the firearm while being an addict, which could land him another 10 years.
Despite hiring top lawyers, they may have a tough time fighting the facts of the case.
In Hunter’s 2021 memoir, Beautiful Things, he admitted to his continued ‘full-blown addiction’ to crack cocaine in 2018 – the period he bought the Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver.
The federally required Firearm Transaction Record for the purchase asks: ‘Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?’
Hunter ticked the box for ‘no’ on the form, obtained by DailyMail.com.
The charges against him were set to be held over as part of a plea deal Hunter struck with prosecutors, in which he would admit to tax crimes for deliberately failing to file and pay his tax bill on millions of dollars of income.
But under scrutiny from a federal judge in July, the plea deal spectacularly fell apart in the courtroom over a controversial clause that would give him blanket immunity for other offenses.
Abbe Lowell, Hunter’s hotshot DC lawyer, has suggested that he may challenge the charges on constitutional grounds related to the second amendment.
