Hunter Biden has enlisted the help of a prominent criminal defense attorney to represent him in his upcoming tax evasion trial, following unsuccessful plea deal discussions with the special counsel handling the case. The possibility of a plea deal still exists, which could potentially spare President Joe Biden's son from facing a second trial after his recent conviction on gun-related charges.
The talks between the two parties have not progressed to a concrete agreement, leaving uncertainty about reaching a deal before Biden's scheduled tax trial in California next month. To navigate the tax trial, Hunter Biden has brought on defense attorney Mark Geragos, known for his firm based in Los Angeles, due to financial constraints and time limitations faced by his DC-based defense team.
