Hunter Biden has entered a guilty plea to avoid tax trial just a few months after his gun conviction. The president’s son pled guilty to some heavy-hitting tax charges—just hours before jury selection was set to begin. No plea bargains, no handshakes. Just a straightforward guilty plea to charges that claim he dodged at least $1.4 million in taxes.

This move came after his June conviction on felony gun charges, which had already aired out a fair share of Hunter’s dirty laundry, including his well-known struggles with crack cocaine addiction. But this tax trial? It promised even more scandalous details, possibly adding fuel to the Republican-led fire accusing the Biden family of corruption. And here’s the kicker: while President Joe Biden might not be running for re-election, his son’s legal mess is far from over.

Hunter’s plea means he’s staring down some serious prison time—up to 17 years, to be exact. But we all know federal sentencing guidelines will likely knock that down a bit. Sentencing day is set for December 16, so you can imagine the holiday spirit in the Biden household.

Now, the question we all want to know is: Will President Biden step in and pardon his son? It’s a situation that would make for a Netflix-worthy political thriller. The president’s career is coming to an end, and while he’s no longer focused on 2024, the emotional weight of his son’s legal battles is undeniable. Would Biden risk the backlash of handing out a pardon, or will he let Hunter face the music on his own? The clock’s ticking, and all eyes are on the White House.
