00:00It's Benzinga, and here's what's on the block.
00:02Hunter Biden pleaded guilty on Thursday to nine criminal counts related to federal tax
00:07charges, avoiding a trial that could have drawn significant public scrutiny.
00:11Sentencing is scheduled for December 16.
00:13Biden initially sought an Alford plea, which would maintain his innocence while accepting
00:18the strength of the case, but prosecutors opposed this.
00:21Ultimately, he entered an open plea, leaving sentencing to the judge without an agreed
00:25recommendation.
00:26This plea does not include any formal deal with the government.
