Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, is set to be arraigned on nine federal tax charges on January 11, 2024, in Los Angeles.
The charges include three felony and six misdemeanor counts, including filing a false return, tax evasion, failure to file and failure to pay taxes.
Prosecutors allege that Biden failed to pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019.
Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, has argued that the case against his client is politically motivated.
If convicted, Biden faces a maximum penalty of 17 years' imprisonment.
