“Jury selection is scheduled to begin Thursday in Los Angeles federal court in Hunter Biden’s trial on tax-related charges. It’s the second-ever criminal trial of a sitting president’s son, and the second for Hunter Biden this year. Hunter Biden, 54, was indicted in December on three felony and six misdemeanor counts alleging that he failed to pay his taxes during a period when, he has said, he was in the throes of drug addiction, as well as when he got sober. The indictment says that ‘rather than pay his taxes, the Defendant spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle.’ … He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Jury selection is expected to take about two days, with opening statements tentatively scheduled for Monday.” (09/05/24)
