In surprise move, Hunter Biden pleads guilty in federal tax case

LA Times  

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. They occur under exceptional circumstances, and that’s not the case today,” Wise said, adding later that “we will not under any circumstances agree to an Alford plea.” After a brief recess to confer with Biden and the rest of his legal team, Lowell stated that Biden would not pursue the Alford plea and would instead plead guilty to all nine counts. Negotiating with prosecutors typically results in a reduced sentence and the dismissal of some charges, Rahmani said, adding that Biden’s lawyers “are either completely incompetent, or what’s more likely, Hunter Biden knows he’ll be pardoned.” President Biden has said he would not pardon his son nor commute any sentence. On Thursday, White House Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the answer to whether the President would pardon Hunter Biden is “still no.” After the hearing, Biden and his team walked out of the courthouse and into a black Chevrolet Suburban with government plates as a phalanx of media, Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security officials looked on.
