Hunter Biden's Alford Plea Explained In Tax Trial

Hunter Biden appears for deposition with House Republicans in Washington

During Hunter Biden's tax trial, his attorney, Abby Lowell, informed the judge that Hunter is prepared to proceed with the case, citing his past struggles with drug addiction as a factor in his actions. Lowell emphasized that Hunter was not fully aware of his actions at the time in question, implying that he should not be held fully accountable.

Recent developments reveal that Hunter Biden has been placed under oath by the judge, who is explaining the implications of an Alford plea. This plea involves admitting that the government could prove its case while maintaining innocence of the charges. Although unusual, the Alford plea is not unprecedented in the legal system.
