The Department of Justice charged Hunter Biden in December with
failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019,
while allegedly spending millions of dollars on drugs, escorts,
exotic cars and other big-ticket items.
Hunter Biden has pleaded guilty to the charges. In June, he was
convicted by a federal jury in Delaware on separate charges of
lying about his illegal drug use to buy a gun. That made him the
first child of a sitting U.S. president to be convicted of a
crime.
