Hunter Biden, the son of U.S. President Joe Biden, offered a guilty plea about charges in his tax evasion case on Thursday, just as the jury selection process began.
Hunter Biden’s legal team indicated that the 54-year-old was prepared to enter a guilty plea, acknowledging the high probability of a conviction, yet he would continue to assert his innocence.
The proceedings paused when U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi, presiding in Los Angeles, called for a recess. This break allowed prosecutors to discuss the implications of Hunter Biden’s decision to plead guilty. This case has drawn significant attention due to its potential political ramifications and the high-profile nature of the individuals involved.
