Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, took responsibility for tax dodging charges in a California court, avoiding a second criminal trial.
Biden pleaded guilty on Thursday to the nine tax-related charges, three felonies and six misdemeanors, brought by special counsel David Weiss after prosecutors and Trump-appointed Judge Mark Scarsi fought back on an Alford plea, which would have allowed Biden to avoid admitting guilt for charges while accepting a guilty verdict.
