Biden faces a maximum of 17 years in prison and potentially more than $1.2 million in fines when a judge sentences him at a hearing scheduled for Dec. 16.
In a surprise move, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty Thursday to all nine federal tax charges he faced, just as jury selection was about to begin in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom. After a prosecutor finished reading aloud the 56-page indictment, President Biden's troubled son stood before U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi wearing a dark blue suit over a crisp white shirt and blue tie. He responded nine times with 'guilty' as Scarsi asked how he pleaded to each of the federal charges.
Wise asked Scarsi to allow him to read the indictment into the record, and the judge agreed. The indictment included racy details of Biden's life between 2016 and 2019 — the period during which now he admits he failed to pay at least $1.4 million in federal taxes — including the hundreds of thousands of dollars he spent on escorts, a pornographic website, hotels, luxury car rentals and other lavish personal expenses.
