Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, pleaded guilty to federal tax charges on Thursday. He was accused of failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019. The charges carried a maximum sentence of 17 years in prison and $450,000 in fines. By pleading guilty, Biden avoids a trial that was set to begin before the presidential election. Sentencing is scheduled for December 16. The guilty plea is likely part of an agreement with prosecutors for a reduced sentence.
