Hunter Biden to plead guilty to three federal charges | CNN Politics Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, will plead guilty to three federal charges, the Justice Department said Tuesday in a court filing.

I’m a strong Biden supporter, and think it’s good for democracy to aggressively charge malfeasance in cases like this.

That's why I, personally, would go with a platform rather than trying to set up something from scratch. But that's just me. Good luck!

How good is the recording? Do you need help with editing or do you have a solid edit?

How serious are you about this - is this a one-off, an occasional thing, or is it going to be a regular thing?
