Hunter Biden has brought on a new, high-profile criminal defense lawyer to lead him through his tax evasion trial in the coming weeks, after discussions this summer with the special counsel who brought the case didn’t yield a plea deal.
A plea deal could still allow President Joe Biden’s son to avoid a second trial following his recent conviction on gun-related charges, according to two sources familiar with the talks. The two sides have not advanced the discussions to anything concrete, and it’s unclear whether they will reach an agreement before Biden is scheduled to go on trial for the tax-related charges, including three felonies, in California next month, the sources said.
But in the days following Biden’s conviction in Delaware in early June, when the jury found he illegally possessed a gun after lying on forms that had him attest he was not doing drugs, plea deal talks kicked up again. Sources say the special counsel’s office told Biden’s team he could always plead guilty to the nine tax counts, including three felonies, that he is charged with, without significant concessions from the Justice Department.
