LOS ANGELES (AP) — The legal saga surrounding Hunter Biden has taken an unexpected turn. He pleaded guilty Thursday to nine federal tax counts. But even that came about after prosecutors refused to budge in their opposition to a special plea that would have allowed him to maintain his innocence. The twist that played out as jury selection was scheduled to start in the tax trial almost brings to a close a yearslong investigation of President Joe Biden’s son. The Associated Press offers a look at the winding legal road from failed plea agreement with the Justice Department to awaiting sentencing after a conviction on federal gun charges in Delaware and the plea in California.
