Fox News reporting that President Biden’s son Hunter has reached a tentative agreement with federal prosecutors to plead guilty to two minor tax crimes including failing to pay federal income tax and admit to the facts of a gun charge under terms that would likely keep him out of jail, according to court papers filed today in U.S. District Court in Delaware.
Any proposed plea deal would have to be approved by a federal judge, and it is not immediately clear what day Hunter Biden will appear in court to enter his guilty plea.
The agreement caps an investigation that was opened in 2018 and has generated intense interest and criticism since 2020 from Republican politicians who accused the Biden administration of reluctance to pursue the case.
