It’s an Alford plea, similar to a no contest plea. I think he pleaded so his dad could grant him clemency before he leaves office. If he goes to trial he risks the process continuing past dear old dads expiration date.

“If he goes to trial he risks the process continuing past dear old dads expiration date.”
But his father could still preemptively pardon him, even if he’s just on trial.
No, it was a standard guilty plea. He tried the the Alford…
Excerpt:
“Hunter Biden initially entered an ‘Alford plea’ which allowed him to plead guilty while simultaneously maintaining his innocence.
Federal prosecutors fought back and Hunter Biden ended up entering a standard guilty plea.”
No.
From the article:
"Hunter Biden initially entered an ‘Alford plea’ which allowed him to plead guilty while simultaneously maintaining his innocence. Federal prosecutors fought back and Hunter Biden ended up entering a standard guilty plea."
After throwing him under the bus I can now see xiden pardoning his son.
Question is will he remember which one.
Nope, the Alford plea deal was not accepted by the court.
