Biden’s Son Confesses to Accusations: White House Extends Support while Trump Reacts Strongly
Hunter Biden Pleads Not Guilty to Tax Charges, Settles on Illegal Weapons Possession
In a recent hearing at the Delaware District Court, Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, pleaded not guilty to two charges of willfully failing to pay income taxes. However, he reached a settlement with the court on charges of illegal weapons possession. Following approval from the federal judge, it is expected that Hunter’s prison sentence will be lifted, and he will be placed on probation.
Hunter Biden’s attorney, Christopher Clark, released a statement after the verdict, stating that “five years of charges against Hunter Biden have been resolved.” He further explained that Hunter will take responsibility and pay two overdue tax payments as part of the plea bargain. Clark acknowledged that Hunter’s life has been turbulent, and he believes it is essential for Hunter to take accountability for his past mistakes, especially during a time when he was battling addiction. Hunter is looking forward to improving his life and moving forward.
According to court records, Hunter Biden earned over $1.5 million in taxable income during 2017 and 2018 but failed to pay income taxes, even though he owed more than $100,000 in those years.
The White House showed support for Hunter Biden in a brief statement. White House spokesman Ian Sams stated, “The President and First Lady love their children and support her in rebuilding her life. There will be no further comment on this matter on behalf of the White House.”
Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump reacted strongly to the decision. Trump took to his social media account and expressed his astonishment, stating, “Wow! The corrupt Biden Justice System has eliminated hundreds of years of criminal responsibility by simply giving Hunter Biden a ‘traffic penalty’. Our system is broken.”
The trial of Hunter Biden has garnered considerable attention due to his association with the President. As the case continues to unfold, it will undoubtedly be subject to further scrutiny and discussion.
