Hunter Biden has been scheduled to make his initial appearance in federal court in Delaware on July 26th after agreeing to plead guilty to two counts of tax evasion and a firearm offense.

The order for Biden, who is the youngest son of President Joe Biden, to appear in federal court in Wilmington, Delaware was issued by U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika on Wednesday.

This order follows the announcement by the Justice Department that Biden had reached an agreement to resolve federal tax and gun charges, concluding a five-year-long criminal investigation, USA Today reported.

David Weiss, the U.S. attorney for Delaware, who has been investigating Biden for the past five years, revealed that the president’s son was charged with two counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax.

According to court records, Biden allegedly received a minimum of $1.5 million each year in 2017 and 2018 but failed to pay taxes.

The Justice Department is expected to recommend probation as part of the agreement, but a federal judge will ultimately review and assess the terms.
