An attorney for Hunter Biden said the president's son would plead guilty on Thursday morning just moments before prospective jurors were to be summoned into the Los Angeles courtroom where his federal trial on tax charges was scheduled to begin.

Hunter Biden pleaded guilty Thursday to all nine charges in his federal tax case, in a surprise move on the day that an agonizing weekslong trial was supposed to begin.

Hunter Biden's lawyer says his client plans to change his not guilty plea in his federal tax case just as jury selection was set to begin.
