As you may have learned, Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, will plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and admit to felony gun possession.
From CBS News:
Hunter Biden’s plea will include an acknowledgement that drug use was a contributing factor in his gun crime and is entering into a pretrial diversion agreement, according to the filing. A source with knowledge of the agreement said it is expected to mean that for two years, Hunter Biden must remain drug-free and can’t commit additional crimes. If Hunter Biden fulfills this successfully, the gun count would be dismissed. This does not amount to a guilty plea.
A federal judge in Delaware must approve the deal. Hunter is expected to enter a plea to the charges specified in the agreement at a hearing in U.S. District Court in Wilmington. A hearing has not yet been scheduled.
The two misdemeanor tax charges relate to his willful failure to pay taxes for 2017 and 2018. He has since fully repaid back taxes and fines, including $2 million reportedly paid to the federal government last year, with the help of a loan from his personal attorney. The felony gun charge relates to his possession of a handgun by a drug user in 2018.
In other words, this is a slap of the wrist heard around the world. Despite President Biden claiming no one is above the law, his son seems to be.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has responded on Truth Social:
“Wow! The corrupt Biden DOJ just cleared up hundreds of years of criminal liability by giving Hunter Biden a mere ‘traffic ticket.’ Our system is BROKEN!”
Sad!
