The trial could last about a month and it’s set to center on his failure to pay taxes while experiencing addiction. However, he still spent large amounts of money to live a party boy lifestyle.
This trial comes in the wake of his June conviction in Delaware of lying about his drug use to illegally buy a gun. He is currently appealing that ruling.
Hunter is the first child of a sitting president to face criminal charges. If convicted, his other conviction could lead to stiffer penalties because he’d be considered a repeat offender.
He’s set to be sentenced in the gun case in November.
President Biden has said he will not pardon his son.
