The federal investigation into Hunter Biden “appears to be coming to a head,” according to a new report.

Prosecutors examining Biden’s taxes and foreign consulting work met in recent weeks to discuss whether to move forward with the high-profile case, the New York Times reported Tuesday.

The Justice Department is expected to make a final decision on whether to bring criminal or civil charges, or try to reach a settlement that could include a “significant fine,” in the coming months, said the report, which noted that allies of the president prefer a settlement if prosecutors want to press charges against his 52-year-old son. Whatever the decision is, Attorney General Merrick Garland will have the final say.

Biden, who revealed the existence of an inquiry into his tax affairs just after the 2020 election, claimed in April of last year to be “100% certain” he will be cleared of wrongdoing.
