"Hunter Biden's Not Guilty Plea in Federal Tax Case"

Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to 9 tax charges in a California federal court, following a surprise appearance at a Capitol Hill hearing on whether to hold him in contempt of Congress. The charges allege that he failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019, stemming from earnings from foreign entities. His attorney claims the indictment included "no new evidence" and suggested that the charges would not have been brought if his last name were not Biden. Hunter Biden's court appearance comes after a previous plea deal fell apart, and he has also faced separate gun charges.
