Trial against US President's son Biden begins over tax evasion

The trial of Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, has begun in Los Angeles. He is facing charges of tax evasion, with allegations that he failed to pay around $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019. This is not the first time Hunter Biden has faced legal troubles, as he was previously convicted for illegal possession of a firearm.

The trial comes as a political burden for President Biden, but his opponents' attacks on the president's son have been ineffective since he withdrew from the 2024 presidential race. Hunter Biden has pleaded guilty in the tax evasion case, in an attempt to avoid a full trial.

The plea comes after his lawyers failed to reach a deal with the prosecution. If convicted, Hunter Biden could face up to 17 years in prison and a hefty fine.

The judge has scheduled a sentencing hearing for December 16th.
