In an unexpected turn of events, Hunter Biden has pleaded guilty to a tax evasion case in Los Angeles, citing a desire to spare his family further pain and embarrassment. Jury selection for the trial was about to commence when Hunter decided to take responsibility for his actions. His lawyers stated that he wanted to protect his loved ones from the public airing of details about his past drug addiction and excessive spending on strippers and porn.
Prosecutors had planned to call members of the Biden family to testify, and present evidence regarding his crack cocaine addiction and alleged use of taxpayer money for personal expenses during a time when he owed $1.4 million in taxes. Despite this, Hunter’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, claimed that his client was simply late on filing and paying his taxes, and had already settled the amount owed with interest and penalties before being charged.
Hunter faces potential sentences of up to 25 years for his gun case and another 17 years for tax evasion; however, it is expected that he will receive far lighter penalties. Sources have reported that President Biden may pardon his troubled son following the upcoming sentencing dates on November 13th for the gun case and December 16th for the tax case.
