Hunter Biden will accept a guilty verdict in his tax evasion case in California, his lawyer Abbe Lowell said Thursday, as jury selection was about to begin.
Biden is charged with failing to pay at least $1.4 million in federal taxes while living an “extravagant lifestyle.”
In December, a federal grand jury charged the president’s son with three felony tax offenses and six misdemeanor offenses, including failure to file and pay his taxes, tax evasion and filing a false return.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
