Hunter Biden could face 17 years in prison as jury selection begins in tax evasion case

Jury selection begins Thursday in Hunter Biden's federal tax evasion case. The president's son has pleaded not guilty to charges of failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes, but he could face up to 17 years if convicted. Former federal prosecutor Joseph Moreno joined CBS News to discuss the case.

Plead guilty because he knows his Dad will pardon him from this and all future crimes rather than the risk when Trump comes in. Plus it saves the family from further damaging disclosures.

17 years in prison? LOL, he won't even do 17 minutes.

[GroovyGrandpa]

Where is the money he got from china oh I remember in the big guys basement with the classified documents

[Anthony-rjis]

How about a charge about being a foreign agent.

I want to hear about Dump getting 17 years in prison!

[DennisOSullivan-tp]

This is ridiculous. If Biden goes to jail. Dump better go too

[kokolovitch]

Hunter truly believes he'll get probation. Watch the judge overrule the jury verdict.

[randomaxe]

He should have run for president instead of wasting money on repaying taxes.

Trump ruling in Florida says special counsels are unconstitutional I guess only for trump 😢😢

[lindaleclair]

Of course the laptop never existed and the "big guy" got nothing

[EricFansher]

He needs to fast track the sentencing so daddy can pardon him on his way out. To quote the greatest ever "do not doubt me!"

[yelleryoung]

If he gets 17 then tRump will get 1017.

you dont have a jury, when you plead guilty.

[NoShiksa]

They should be waiting until daddy isn’t in charge of the country

[beckym]
