Ashley Biden, President Biden’s daughter, owes $5,000 in income taxes beginning in 2015, according to a recent tax lien docket.
Biden’s Daughter In Her Own Pot of Hot Water
The Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania Department of Revenue on Dec. 1 issued a lien notice to Ashley Biden, which essentially is a government claim imposed against a person’s assets or property to secure unpaid taxes following repeated failed collection attempts.
Born on June 8, 1981, Ashley Biden is the youngest of Joe Biden’s children and the only child with Jill Biden.
On Dec. 1, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue in Philadelphia County notified Biden that the “amount of such unpaid tax, interest, additions or penalties is a lien in favor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania upon the taxpayer’s property – real, personal, or both – as the case may be,” according to the notice.
The period start date listed on the lien begins Jan. 1, 2015 – when Joe Biden was vice president in the Obama administration – and ends Jan. 1, 2021, days before he was sworn in as president.
Garrett Ziegler, the founder of nonprofit watchdog Marco Polo and former aide to then-President Donald Trump, discovered the lien when searching the Philadelphia County courthouse system.
“This is just another example of the Bidens being careless,” Ziegler said. Ziegler founded the website BidenLaptopMedia.com, which contains nearly 10,000 photos from Hunter’s infamous laptop between 2008 and 2019.
Biden and her attorney reportedly did not respond to requests for comment.
But Ashley is not the president’s only child who has run into trouble with the law for failing to pay taxes.
Hunter Biden, 53, has also dominated hit the headlines in recent months for allegedly failing to pay income tax.
Earlier this month, a 56-page filing alleged that he failed to pay at least $1.4million in taxes.
Prosecutors claim he spent his money on “drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes”.
They allege he “individually received more than $7 million in total gross income” between 2016 and 2020, but “willfully failed to pay his 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 taxes on time, despite having access to funds to pay some or all of these taxes”.
Ashley worked as a social worker in the Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families from 2007 to 2012, and during her tenure there she completed her master’s degree in social work from University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in 2010.
In 2017 she launched a charitable fashion brand Livelihood. In 2019, she left her job at the Delaware Center for Justice to help her dad’s presidential campaign.
