Hunter Biden to be arraigned on tax charges
ABC News
President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden is scheduled to be arraigned on tax changes in a California courtroom Thursday.
President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden is scheduled to make his initial appearance in a California courtroom on federal tax charges Thursday -- a day after making a surprise appearance at a Capitol Hill hearing on whether to hold him in contempt of Congress.
The younger Biden will appear before Magistrate Judge Alka Sagar at the Edward R. Roybal courthouse in Los Angeles and be arraigned on nine tax-related charges accusing him of failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2020.
The indictment from December alleges that the president's son earned millions of dollars from foreign entities in Ukraine, Romania and China, and "spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle at the same time he chose not to pay his taxes."
The back taxes were eventually paid in 2020 by a third party, identified by ABC News as Hunter Biden's attorney and confidant Kevin Morris.
