President’s son will plead guilty to two counts wilful failure to pay federal income tax, DoJ says in court filing
Hunter Biden, the scandal-plagued son of Joe Biden, is expected to plead guilty to two counts of wilful failure to pay federal income tax, the US justice department has said in a court filing.
According to the plea deal, Hunter Biden will also enter a pre-trial diversion agreement on one offence of illegally possessing a gun while being a drug user. The justice department alleged that he possessed a Colt Cobra revolver in Delaware in October 2018 while “knowing that he was an unlawful user of and addicted to a controlled substance”. The agreement will allow the gun charge to be dropped if Hunter Biden meets certain conditions, which were not immediately clear Tuesday.
