Key Facts
Biden has agreed to admit to two misdemeanor charges of failing to pay taxes in 2017 and 2018, and enter a pretrial diversion agreement for an additional charge related to purchasing a gun in 2018 despite being a drug user at the time, according to the filing by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss.
Prosecutors were widely expected to bring charges in the case after the Washington Post reported in October federal investigators believed they had evidence to charge Biden in the probe that began in 2018 as an investigation into his overseas business dealings.
