Hunter Biden, one of President Joe Biden's sons, appeared in a Los Angeles federal courtroom on Thursday, and pleaded not guilty to all nine charges against him, during a brief arraignment hearing. The government is alleging that Biden evaded paying taxes on earnings from foreign entities, to the tune of "at least $1.4 million":

The first son pleaded not guilty Thursday afternoon to to nine charges alleging that he failed to pay at least $1.4 million in federal taxes between 2016 and 2019 on foreign earnings that are the focus of a House impeachment inquiry into his father, President Biden.[...]

The first son “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills,” according to the 56-page indictment filed last month, including payments for “drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes.”

Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, pleaded not guilty on charges related to his failure to file and pay income taxes.

The appearance in Los Angeles is before U.S. District Judge Mark C. Scarsi, who was appointed by then-President Donald Trump.

  • Trial date 6/20/24
  • All motions by 2/20/24
  • Hearings on those motions - 3/27/24
  • Pre-Trial Conference - 6/3/24
