Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, has pleaded guilty to nine federal tax charges in a Los Angeles courtroom. The charges, brought by special counsel David Weiss, include three felonies and six misdemeanors related to $1.4 million in unpaid taxes. This surprise move came just as jury selection was about to begin, aiming to avoid a potentially embarrassing trial. The plea was not part of a deal with prosecutors. Sentencing is scheduled for December 16, 2024.
