ChainCatcher news, Hunter Biden, the second son of US President Biden, will plead guilty to federal tax crimes today, including multiple felonies, and faces up to 17 years in prison.

Hunter Biden has been charged with nine tax crimes, including three felony charges. Prosecutors accused him of failing to pay $1.4 million in federal taxes and evading taxes by submitting tax returns with fraudulent business deductions. They also accused Biden of spending money on luxury cars, luxury hotels and sex workers instead of paying taxes on time. President Joe Biden has repeatedly stated that he will not pardon his son in these two cases. It is unclear whether the president's mind has changed since he gave up his re-election campaign, but he still has the ability to pardon his son or commute his sentence.
