Prosecutors Object to Hunter Biden’s Proposed New Plea in Tax Case, Demand that Jury Selection Begin

Prosecutors on Thursday objected to Hunter Biden’s last-minute attempt to avoid a trial for felony tax evasion, saying that jury selection should begin. The president’s only surviving son had sought to withdraw his guilty plea at the eleventh hour and instead do a so-called Alford Plea in which he’d concede that the government has enough evidence to convict him, but lets Biden maintain his proclamation of innocence.
