Hunter Biden Pleads Not Guilty to Federal Tax Charges; Trial Begins June 20
Hunter Biden on Thursday pleaded not guilty to tax fraud charges during his arraignment in a federal court in Los Angeles.
The Justice Department filed new criminal charges against Hunter Biden back on December 8th.
Hunter Biden was hit with a 9-count indictment filed in the Central District of California: Tax evasion, failure to file/pay taxes, and false/fraudulent tax return.
Last month’s indictment was handed down by Special Counsel David Weiss after a sweetheart plea deal on tax charges fell apart over the summer.
US District Judge Mark Scarsi, a Trump appointee, tentatively set the trial for Hunter’s tax-related charges for June 20.
If convicted, Hunter Biden faces up to 17 years in prison.
