UPDATE 2:35 PM: Hunter Biden has pleaded guilty to all nine charges in his federal tax case on Thursday, with the judge accepting his plea deal.

Sentencing is scheduled for December 16^thand the prosecution did not object to the date, which was proposed by the judge overseeing the trial.

10:00 AM: In a surprising decision, Hunter Biden plans to plead guilty in his federal tax evasion trial, his lawyers announced on Thursday morning before jury selection was set to begin.

“Mr. Biden intends to change his plea this morning,” Hunter’s lawyer Abbe Lowell told the judge in a Los Angeles federal courtroom.

The president’s son, who arrived with his wife Melissa Cohen by his side, was facing his second trial in just the span of a few months after he was convicted in June for illegally owning a gun while actively doing hard drugs, in addition to lying about it.

The new trial for Hunter includes nine federal charges related to how he purportedly failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes during the years 2016 through 2019.

Meanwhile, the controversial first son also faces up to 25 years behind bars whenever he’s sentenced in his gun case on November 13^th.
