 Joe Biden’s Son, Hunter Biden Faces Up To 17 Years In Prison Over Tax Evasion After Guilty Plea


Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has pleaded guilty to nine federal tax charges in a Los Angeles courtroom on Thursday, potentially facing a maximum of 17 years in prison.


District Judge Mark Scarsi, appointed by former President Trump, accepted the plea and scheduled the sentencing for December 16, as reported by CNN. The charges include tax evasion, filing fraudulent tax returns, and failure to pay taxes. Additionally, Judge Scarsi mentioned that Biden could be liable for a fine of up to $1.3 million.


In the courtroom, prosecutor Leo Wise, who led the case, expressed astonishment at Biden's change of plea, stating, "We were as surprised as everyone else in the courtroom this morning."


Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, defended his client's actions, indicating, "Hunter decided to enter his plea to shield his loved ones from unnecessary distress and harsh humiliation." 


Lowell further emphasized that the plea was made to avoid another public trial revolving around Biden’s addiction struggles, stating, "This plea prevents a trial that would not have presented all the facts or served any significant purpose in the pursuit of justice."


Biden's case has garnered attention due to the potential of a presidential pardon. Despite this, the White House reaffirmed on Thursday that President Biden had ruled out this option. 


Hunter Biden had previously faced trial in June for gun-related charges, resulting in a conviction, and he is currently awaiting sentencing scheduled for November 13.
