The nine-count indictment also details a lavish spending spree including drugs and escorts over the same period, from 2016 to 2019.
Mr Biden, 53, was indicted in September for owning a gun while on drugs and not declaring his addictions on a form.
His lawyer said on Thursday night the new charges are politically motivated.
President Joe Biden is not mentioned in the indictment and the White House has not commented.
