Watch as Hunter Biden's tax trial began in Los Angeles on Thursday, 5 September.
Joe Biden’s son is standing trial in a criminal case accusing him of failing to pay $1.4m in taxes while spending lavishly on drugs, sex workers, and luxury items.
Hunter has pleaded not guilty.
He became the first child of a sitting president to face criminal charges in December when he was charged as part of a wide-ranging probe of his finances and business dealings.
The tax trial follows Hunter's June trial conviction in Delaware for illegally buying a gun while using drugs, which he is appealing.
He could face a tougher sentence if convicted in the tax case because he would be a repeat offender.
The tax evasion trial, presided over by Judge Mark Scarsi, will begin with jury selection on Thursday and is expected to last two to three weeks.
