Hunter Biden to Plea Guilty To Illegal Weapons Charge & Tax Evasion

Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, has been charged with failure to pay his federal income tax obligations and illegal firearm possession. He has also reached a settlement with the Department of Justice, as stated in a document submitted to the U.S. District Court in Delaware. The terms of the settlement, disclosed on Tuesday, stipulate that Hunter Biden will accept guilt for minor tax infractions, and is anticipated to finalize a deal with the prosecution regarding the major felony charge of possessing a firearm while using drugs. This agreement concludes a prolonged examination by the Department of Justice into Joe Biden's younger son, who has publicly admitted to battling addiction following the death of his sibling Beau Biden in 2015. The resolution also circumvents a trial that could have led to a string of unwanted headlines for the Biden family.
