Federal prosecutors have charged Hunter Biden with evading $1.4m (£1.1m) in tax payments, a second criminal case against the US president's son.

The nine-count indictment also details a lavish spending spree including drugs and escorts over the same period, from 2016 to 2019.

Attorneys for Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, asked a federal judge in Delaware on Monday to toss out his three felony gun charges on Second Amendment grounds and on the basis that he previously reached an agreement with federal prosecutors to not be charged for the alleged gun crimes.

It comes as congressional Republicans place Hunter Biden's business dealings at the centre of an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, who is seeking re-election next year.

Hunter Biden is willing to testify in a public hearing before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, a lawyer for the president’s son said.

House Oversight chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) threatened to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress if the president’s son does not appear on Capitol Hill next week to testify.

Earlier Wednesday, Biden’s legal counsel Abbe Lowell reiterated Hunter’s willingness to appear before Congress in a public hearing, rather than behind closed doors, as Comer and his committee demanded.
