LOS ANGELES, California - Hunter Biden , son of U.S. President Joe Biden, pleaded guilty to federal tax charges on Thursday in a surprise move that avoids a potentially embarrassing trial weeks before the U.S. presidential election.Biden had been set to stand trial in a Los Angeles federal courthouse on criminal charges of failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes while spending lavishly on drugs, sex workers and luxury items.Instead, he pleaded guilty to all nine counts he faced.
Earlier in the day, Biden had offered to plead guilty to the charges but avoid admitting wrongdoing, an unusual legal maneuver opposed by prosecutors."It's not clear to us what they are trying to do," one prosecutor told the judge.The guilty plea heads off a weeks-long trial that likely would have aired messy details of Hunter Biden's life during the election campaign. Voters will choose on Nov.
