Los Angeles — Hunter Biden offered a surprise guilty plea in his tax evasion case on Thursday, capping a whirlwind day in court in Los Angeles, where jury selection in his trial was set to begin.
The president's son entered an open plea — an offer to plead guilty and allow a judge to sentence him — on Thursday afternoon, admitting guilt to all nine charges. His sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 16. He faces up to 17 years in prison.
"Do you agree you committed every element of the charges in the indictment?" U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi asked Biden.

Democrats don’t want a public spectacle over Hunter Biden, but at the same time, now there’s no one around in the DOJ or elsewhere who can make calls to judges to tell them what their decisions should be.

Hunter Biden offered a surprise guilty plea in his tax evasion case on Thursday, capping a whirlwind day in court in Los Angeles, I'm surprised he would do this given the very high expectation of an "OJ Jury" in Los Angeles.

Probation and maybe a few hundred dollars of restitution. If that. While Scarsi is a Trump appointee, it doesn’t mean he wasn’t a liberal trade to get democrat votes on conservatives judges. That’s the game.

I thought Joe pardoned his son for every crime he’d committed since January 1, 2014. According to the NY Post: “Joe Biden pardoned Hunter of the tax and gun felonies on Dec. 1, 2024 — and also shielded him from prosecution for any crimes potentially committed since Jan. 1, 2014 and the clemency date.”
