Hunter Biden's sentencings in his gun and tax cases will consider his recovery from addiction and repayment of taxes, legal experts say.

The plea avoids a second criminal trial for Biden, who was convicted on federal gun charges earlier this year.

Hunter Biden pled guilty to three felony counts and six misdemeanors for evading taxes, failing to pay taxes, and filing a false tax return, according to The New York Times. Prosecutors say Biden owed $1.4 million in federal taxes.
