Story
Hunter Biden Changes Plea to Guilty in $1.4M Tax Evasion Case with Alford Plea
Sep 5, 2024, 03:57 PM
Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has changed his plea to guilty in his federal tax evasion case, moments before jury selection was scheduled to begin. The trial, taking place in Los Angeles, involves accusations that Hunter Biden failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes while spending lavishly on drugs, sex workers, and luxury items. Initially pleading not guilty, Hunter Biden now seeks to resolve the case with an Alford plea, maintaining his innocence but acknowledging that the prosecution's evidence would likely result in a guilty verdict. The charges include three felony counts and six misdemeanors, which could lead to a sentence of up to 17 years in prison. This development follows a previous trial on gun charges in Delaware. His attorney, Abbe Lowell, stated that Hunter Biden has paid his tax debts after regaining sobriety in 2019. Special counsel David Weiss is overseeing the case, which carries an emotional toll for President Joe Biden.
