On Friday, a California judge granted immunity for Hallie Biden to testify against Hunter Biden in his upcoming criminal tax trial slated to begin in September.
Hallie Biden, the widow of Beau Biden and ex of Hunter Biden, previously indicated to prosecutors that she would be unwilling to testify at the trial beginning Sept. 5 “on the basis of her privilege against self-incrimination,” according to a court filing obtained by Fox News.
Biden is charged with failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019, while also filing false tax returns. He allegedly used the funds to live a life of luxury, including spending millions of dollars on drugs, escorts, cars and other high-priced items.
U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi wrote this week that “it is ordered … Hallie Biden give testimony or provide other information which she refuses to give or to provide on the basis of her privilege against self-incrimination as to all matters about which he may be interrogated in the course of these proceedings.”
“It is further ordered that no testimony or other information compelled under this order, or any information directly or indirectly derived from such testimony or information, shall be used against Hallie Biden in any criminal case, except that she shall not be exempted by this order from prosecution for perjury, giving a false statement, or otherwise failing to comply with this order,” he added.

Biden is facing up to 17 years in prison for his crimes.
He is charged with three felonies and six misdemeanors in the California tax case.
Hallie Biden testified against Hunter under the same immunity arrangement during his federal gun trial in Delaware earlier this year, according to the Washington Examiner.
A federal judge on Friday set Hunter Biden’s sentencing on gun charges for Nov. 13, just a week after the Nov. 5 presidential election from which his father, President Biden, recently bowed out.

Huge waste of money. Joe is going to issue blanket pardons to all his family members anyway.
Wow, wonders never cease especially when it comes to the Corrupt O’Biden Family of Losers.
The Dems taking care of the Dems! Why is Trump being charged in Georgia’s election fraud case when it was proven there was excessive fraud with many illegal votes in the Georgia Federal Elections?? Why is Giuliani being charged with election accusations when it was shown on video tape that Ruby Freeman illegally cut the Federal election ballot box after sending the Watchers home for the night and then sealed them up after recording the votes illegally and then putting them back under the election table, both illegal actions punishable by election fraud?
