Was set to get underway. I think Hunter Bidens legal team reached the maybe noncontroversial conclusion that there is no way he was going to win This case. Norah could Hunter Biden face time in prison . And what about a pardon from his father . The Cbs Evening News starts now. Good evening. Im norah odonnell, and thank you for being with us. And we are going to begin tonight with that breaking news, after the president s only surviving Son Today pleaded guilty to nine charges of Tax Evasion and falsifying tax returns.

Cbss Scott Macfarlane reports the surprising move came as Jury Selection was getting underway. Reporter Hunter Biden, who was convicted by a jury in Delaware In June of unlawfully possessing a gun, is trying to avoid a second criminal trial This year. He is charged in california with allegedly scheming to avoid paying at least 1. 4 million in income taxes. But in a Surprise Move ahead of Jury Selection today, bidens attorneys acknowledged the evidence is overwhelming and offered for biden to plead guilty. Hunter decided to enter his plea to protect those he loves from unnecessary hurt and cruel humiliation. Hunter put his family first today. Reporter an unorthodox, unexpected move in the federal Court System where guilty pleas typically come with plenty of warning and only after negotiations and agreement with the prosecutors. Among the many things that were unusual today is the fact that it appears that what Hunter Biden is offering is to plead guilty to all the charges, but in exchange for nothing. Reporter at first, prosecutors protested because in bidens initial Offer Today his attorneys said hed plead guilty but wouldnt accept full responsibility for the crime. Biden already faces prison time for the Gun Conviction earlier This year when hes sentenced in midnovember, and now faces the prospect of additional time behind bars, even with a finalized guilty plea in the tax case. Earlier This summer, the president said This about the idea of a pardon. I abide by the Jury Decision and i will do that and i will not pardon him. Reporter in a statement he just issued, Hunter Biden said he was concerned a trial would cause anguish and that he didnt want to put his family through that. Norah .

The former president s lawyers also pleaded not guilty on his behalf, as he was arraigned on revised charges in response to the supreme courts ruling on president ial immunity. Now to america decides, with the economy one of the top issues for voters in november, former President Donald Trump laid out a number of his economic proposals in New York today, and it included a Task Force to conduct a financial and Performance Audit of the School Government led by Tech Billionaire Elon musk. Cbss Robert Costa has the details. It will be a national economic renaissance. Reporter former President Donald Trump today spelled out his vision for the economy and had sharp criticism of Vice President harris. Comrade Kamala Harris wants to sacrifice our wealth, kill the economy, and drive jobs overseas to punish businesses more. Reporter trump claims a second Term Agenda would include lowering the corporate Tax Rate, slashing regulations to boost energy production, and imposing tariffs and Tax Penalties on companies that dont produce in the u. S. Vice president harris, by contrast, has said she would raise the corporate Tax Rate from 21 to 28 . Billionaires and big corporations must pay their fair share in taxes. [cheers and applause] reporter Trump Today also embraced a Government Efficiency Commission pushed by Billionaire Supporter Elon musk, who has called for a complete audit of the federal government.

The meanest, the nastiest. But that was what i was presented with. Reporter sources close to harris tell me her Debate Prep is not just about policy and message, but about getting ready for the unexpected from trump. As for trump, his advisors tell me he isnt having a formal prep, but instead is bantering with allies about how to handle harris and draw her out on issues like immigration. Norah .

You just heard norah talking about the big rain that is out there, big heat. Lets start with the rain. Want to take us out to the gulf coast. I mean, New Orleans has already, all week long, been getting piled on with the rain. They picked up over 7 inches already in their rain bucket, and by the time we get to tomorrow night, New Orleans could pick up another 6 inches. That would give New Orleans their years worth of rain with another four months to go in This year. But the heat is the story out west. Anywhere from the canadian border to the mexican border we have got heat advisories, high Heat Warnings out there. For some folks like Los Angeles that stays in effect until monday. Tomorrow Los Angeles hits 100 degrees. While portland, oregon, also hits 100 to greaves. Well to the north of l. A. , but for portland, oregon, that will break a record a stylist in 1958. 65 Million people dealing with that bigtime heat. Norah, it is all yours.

Reporter back on the trail, leum says many new hikers inspired by images on Social Media even bring their pets along, but they are not prepared. They overestimate their ability by thinking, that wont happen to me or i can handle it. And those are the people we rescue. Reporter now when youre heading out on a trail, rescuers say you should always bring your Cell Phone with you, even if you think theres not going to be a signal because the latest Iphone Models can send an Emergency Message via satellite, and first responders here in l.
