"Mr. Biden is prepared, because of the public and private interest, to proceed today and finish this." The tax trial was expected to showcase more potentially lurid evidence as well as details about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings, which Republicans have seized on to try to paint the Biden family as corrupt.
Prosecutors said they objected to such a plea, telling the judge that Hunter Biden"is not entitled to plead guilty on special terms that apply only to him."Hunter Biden walked into the courtroom holding hands with his wife, Melissa Cohen Biden, and flanked by Secret Service agents.
The judge barred attorneys from connecting his substance abuse struggles to the 2015 death of his brother Beau Biden from cancer or the car accident that killed his mother and sister when he was a toddler.
