Hunter Biden all smiles during 2-hour lunch at upscale Malibu restaurant day after pleading guilty in $1.4M tax evasion case

First son Hunter Biden appeared cheerful and upbeat Friday as he strolled into an upscale Malibu restaurant one day after pleading guilty to tax evasion charges in a Los Angeles courtroom. 

Hunter, flanked by Secret Service agents, was spotted grinning ear to ear as he fumbled with his cellphone while heading to Moonshadows Malibu for lunch.&n🅺bsp;

The restaurant boasts “award-winning ocean view d🍒ining” and invites patrons to “Indulge in a dining experience that will scintillate all your senses.”

Hunter, sporting a baseball cap emblazoned with Hawaii’s flag and several bracelets below his rolled-up sleeves spent about two hou๊rs inside the New American establishment𒊎 before being whisked away. 

The first son’s post-confession outing didn’t appear to cause any soꦇrt of 🐻stir in the celebrity enclave by the Pacific Ocean. 

“Honestly, I didn’t even know he was her👍e,” a Moonshadows Malibu employee told The Post. 

Hunter pleaded guilty to all nine counts in the federal tax evasion case against him before jury selection on Thursda🐈y in order ꦰto “spare” his family from further “embarrassment,” he said in a statement. 

“I will not subject my family to more pain, more invasions of privacy and needless embarrassment,” read the statement from President Biden’s son. “Fo𝓀r all I have put them through over the years, I can spare them ✱this, and so I have decided to plead guilty.”
