In a recent development, Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, has admitted guilt to all nine federal tax charges, thereby avoiding a second trial this year.

What Happened: U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi accepted Biden’s plea change on the day jury selection was due to commence in Los Angeles federal court. Biden confessed to evading at least $1.4 million in taxes over a four-year period, attributing his actions to his cocaine addiction, reported The Hill.
