The son of U.S. President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, is bracing himself to admit guilt to a duo of misdemeanour tax crimes in addition to admitting unlawful possession of a firearm while a drug user.
The news follows a marathon investigation spanning five years. The Delaware U.S. Attorney has intimated that a plea agreement is in the making.
These admissions are expected to go hand in hand with an agreement to pursue drug treatment and constant monitoring – a roadmap that might steer Hunter Biden away from jail time.
The proposed deal, however, awaits judicial approval, with the timeline for his court appearance to plead guilty to the tax charges remaining undetermined.

As part of a pre-trial diversion agreement — distinct from the tax evasion plea deal — Hunter Biden will also concede to felony gun possession.
This was communicated by his attorney, Chris Clark, who underscored Hunter’s willingness to shoulder the blame for his missteps during a tumultuous phase of addiction in his life.
