Hunter Biden expected to plead not guilty in Los Angeles hearing on federal tax charges

Hindustan Times  

Hunter Biden is expected to plead not guilty to nine felony and misdemeanor tax offenses. The accusations all come from a yearslong federal investigation into Hunter Biden's tax and business dealings that had been expected to wind down over the summer with a plea deal in which he would have gotten two years' probation after pleading guilty to misdemeanor tax charges. Hunter Biden's original proposed plea deal with prosecutors had been pilloried as a “sweetheart deal” by Republicans, including Trump. Hunter Biden's criminal proceedings are also happening in parallel to so far unsuccessful efforts by congressional Republicans to link his business dealings to his father. Hunter Biden's defense attorney, Abbe Lowell, has accused special counsel David Weiss of “bowing to Republican pressure."
