Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has agreed to plead guilty to criminal federal tax charges.
Hunter was charged with two counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax.
Willful failure to pay federal income tax can be a crime that is classified and prosecuted either as a misdemeanor (IRC 7203) or a felony (IRC 7201). Hunter was charged with the lesser crime (the misdemeanor), and the U.S. Attorney for Delaware is recommending to the judge that Hunter only receive probation for the crimes. In principle though, Hunter’s dad, as President, could pardon him of any crime.
