Lawyers in special counsel David Weiss’ office are accusing Hunter Biden of receiving payments from a Romanian businessman who was trying to “impact U.S. government agencies,” while his father Joe Biden was vice president.

If accurate, the claim would represent the nearest lawyers have come to connecting President Joe Biden to his son’s international business pursuits — a topic congressional Republicans have spent years examining.

The special counsel’s assertion, in a legal document submitted Wednesday in the younger Biden’s federal tax case, arises from Hunter Biden’s efforts on behalf of Gabriel Popoviciu, a wealthy Romanian who attorneys say hired the president’s son for legal services in late 2015.

Popoviciu was at the time facing corruption charges in his home country.

At Hunter Biden’s upcoming tax trial, “the government will introduce the evidence … that [Hunter Biden] and Business Associate 1 received compensation from a foreign principal who was attempting to influence U.S. policy and public opinion and cause the United States to investigate the Romanian investigation of [Popoviciu] in Romania,” prosecutors wrote in Wednesday’s filing.

According to prosecutors, Hunter Biden and his business associate “were concerned that lobbying work might cause political ramifications for the defendant’s father,” so the deal was structured in a way that “concealed the true nature of the work he was performing.”

The special counsel’s office made a passing reference to Hunter Biden’s work with Popoviciu in their December indictment. However, Wednesday’s filing was the first to suggest that Hunter Biden was compensated in a lobbying capacity.

Lawyers stated that Hunter Biden and two business partners divided over $3 million in payments from Popoviciu between November 2015 and 2017.

A spokesperson for Hunter Biden did not promptly respond to a request for comment from ABC News.

Hunter Biden is facing three felony tax charges and additional misdemeanors for allegedly neglecting to pay $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2020. The past due taxes and fines were previously settled in full by a third party, identified by ABC News as Hunter Biden’s lawyer and confidant, Kevin Morris.

The trial, in California, is scheduled to begin in early September.
