Son of President Joe Biden pleads guilty to tax charges
Hunter Biden to accept terms that would spare him jail time
The president's son was previously found guilty on felony gun charges
Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and accept terms that would spare him jail time.
The agreement was reached with the Justice Department on Tuesday and comes after Biden was found guilty on three felony counts related to buying a gun while he was in the throes of drug addiction.
Biden was indicted by special counsel David Weiss in connection with a gun he purchased in 2018. He was charged with knowingly making a false statement during the purchase of a firearm, which is a felony.
The plea agreement reportedly includes a provision that would allow Biden to avoid jail time if he completes a year of probation and pays a fine.
The agreement is a significant development in the ongoing legal saga surrounding Biden, who has been under investigation for his business dealings for several years.
