Jury selection for Hunter Biden's tax evasion trial to begin in Los Angeles

Jury selection is expected to begin Thursday in the tax trial of Hunter Biden, who is charged with failing to pay at least $1.4 million in federal taxes while living an "extravagant lifestyle." 

In December, a federal grand jury charged the president's son with three felony tax offenses and six misdemeanor offenses, including failure to file and pay his taxes, tax evasion and filing a false return. 

A 56-page indictment chronicled more than $7 million in income he made from his foreign business dealings from 2016 through 2019, and how the president's son spent nearly $5 million during that time period on "everything but his taxes." Those expenses, according to the indictment, included drugs, escorts, lavish hotels, rental homes, luxury cars and clothing. Biden then allegedly falsely characterized those expenses as business expenses.
