LOS ANGELES — Hunter Biden, the last surviving son of President Joe Biden, pleaded not guilty to nine tax-related charges during his arraignment in federal court on Thursday.
Follow along for live updatesThe arraignment came just over a month after Hunter Biden was indicted in the Central District of California on allegations that he failed to pay his taxes.
That charge, which federal authorities have used as a catch-all charge against domestic extremists, is facing court challenges.
On Wednesday, Hunter Biden made a surprise appearance at a circus-like hearing on the day that Republicans formally recommended that the House hold him in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena for testimony.
Hunter Biden has said he would testify publicly, but House Republicans have demanded that he testify behind closed doors.
