As jury selection was beginning in Hunter Biden's federal tax evasion trial in downtown Los Angeles Thursday, Hunter's defense attorney, Abbe Lowell, announced in court that Hunter intends to change his plea from not guilty to guilty.

According to Fox News, Hunter will enter an Alford plea - in which he pleads guilty but does not admit guilt.

At a pre-trial motions hearing on August 21 it became clear that as the evidence was presented it would be quite embarrassing for the First Family, as prosecutors would be forced to call witnesses and introduce documentation to prove that millions of dollars in expenses were business expenses and not personal. That meant that women Hunter had allegedly paid for sex would testify, and receipts from an online dating site would be brought before the jury and the American public.

Court is in recess until 11 AM Pacific, at which time Hunter is expected to officially change his plea.
