Hunter Biden is pleading ‘Guilty’ to tax evasion…
According to a Fox News report, Hunter Biden will plead ‘Guilty’ in his federal tax evasion case brought by special counsel David Weiss.
In the indictment, Weiss alleged that Biden “engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019, from in or about January 2017 through in or about October 15, 2020, and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns in or about February 2020.”
Weiss said that, in “furtherance of that scheme,” Biden “subverted the payroll and tax withholding process of his own company, Owasco, PC by withdrawing millions” from the company “outside of the payroll and tax withholding process that it was designed to perform.”
The special counsel alleged that Biden “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills,” and that in 2018, he “stopped paying his outstanding and overdue taxes for tax year 2015.”
The trial began Thursday with jury selection in Los Angeles.
“Mr. Biden intends to change his plea this morning,” Hunter’s lawyer Abbe Lowell told the judge in a Los Angeles federal courtroom.
Fox News columnist Tammy Bruce says a pardon may be in the cards for Hunter Biden, despite President Biden saying he would not pardon his son.
“This looks like someone’s getting a pardon!” Bruce said on X.
