According to a court document, embattled first son Hunter Biden has decided to admit admission to federal criminal tax charges.
According to the petition, Hunter Biden has also consented to enter a “pretrial diversion agreement” in connection with a charge of possessing a handgun while abusing or dependent upon illegal substances, according to CNBC.
U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss has agreed to propose to a judge that Hunter receive a probationary term for the tax violations, according to persons with knowledge of the situation.
He still has a theoretical maximum sentence of one year in jail for each tax accusation and ten years in jail for the weapons charge, according to a statement from the justice department. The judge in the case, who will also choose the punishment, must approve the proposed agreement.
The failure to pay more than $100,000 in taxes in both 2017 and 2018 led to the two misdemeanour tax accusations.
He must consent to drug testing and treatment.
