WASHINGTON D.C. – CNBC is reporting Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has agreed to plead guilty to federal criminal tax charges, a court filing Tuesday revealed.
CNBC is also reporting, Hunter Biden also has agreed to enter a so-called pretrial diversion agreement in connection with a charge of possession of a firearm by a person who is a user or addict of illegal drugs.
It does not appear as if these charges are related to the reported scandal involving his alleged involvement with a Ukranian Energy Company.

The scandal first gained widespread attention in the lead-up to the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The allegations primarily focused on Hunter Biden’s business dealings, particularly his involvement with a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma Holdings. Critics accused him of leveraging his father’s political position to secure lucrative deals and influence foreign policy decisions.
One of the key allegations involved Hunter Biden’s position on the board of Burisma Holdings. It was claimed that he received a significant salary despite having little experience in the energy sector, raising concerns of potential corruption. Furthermore, there were allegations of a conflict of interest since Joe Biden, at the time, was the Vice President of the United States and was involved in policy matters related to Ukraine.
