Why Hunter Biden suddenly switched to a guilty plea before his trial

Jury selection was set to start Thursday in the second trial this year for Hunter Biden -- this time for federal tax evasion. But the president's son requested to change his plea several times over the course of the day, eventually entering a guilty plea. CBS News legal contributor and Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson joins to discuss the whirlwind day in court.

If the trial went forward, Joe's involvement would be brought out in court. Ten percent for the big guy

"BUT, WHAT ABOUT TRUMP!?!?!?", The Democrats

C'mon man, how can my boy fill out those tax forms? You can't add Line 17a and 17b if you snorted Line 17c.

He'll get home probation. No jail.

Seems to be a pattern with those entitled Biden kittens. Ashley also had some unpaid taxes, yes ?

Why is it when I get a traffic ticket I can’t use all these pleas?

[jesussalas]

No one is above the law; thus, someone out there can't claim non-guilty for more than 36 criminal counts.

If your last name is Biden you can do that

[yourseatatthetable]

What are the odds that Harris will commute Hunter's sentence?

[DotAndDasho]

This IS the trial that should have been televised.

[seanmatal]

His dad will probably pardon him since he isn't running anymore

[jamesd]

We all know he did this so daddy can pardon him before its too late🤣

[beebob]

Now that he's pled guilty, give the sentence in February so that daddy can't pardon him

[rickbaier]

Were not stupid . A trial would open the books snd see where the money went to the crime family members .Now we find out nothing....

[rtth]

Why he switched. He’s as guilty as sin and the evidence is overwhelming

[rushhour]

He decided to pay his father’s dues… he is Jesus Christ
