Hunter Biden intends to plead guilty on federal tax charges brought by special counsel David Weiss
SUMMARY
Hunter Biden plans to change his plea to guilty on federal tax charges brought by special counsel David Weiss, his attorney revealed Thursday, surprising prosecutors. Biden, who initially pleaded not guilty, now faces charges related to a "four-year scheme" to avoid paying $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019. Weiss accused Biden of filing false returns and evading tax payments, claiming he withdrew millions from his company, Owasco, PC, outside proper payroll processes. Prosecutors also allege that Biden used these funds for an extravagant lifestyle instead of paying his taxes. The trial began with jury selection in Los Angeles. This case marks Biden's second trial this year, following his conviction on firearm-related charges in Delaware, which could result in up to 25 years in prison. No sentencing date has been set for those charges.
