Hunter Biden’s Legal Troubles
Hunter Biden, 53, had reached an agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to plead guilty to misdemeanor tax offenses and enter a pretrial diversion agreement for a felony firearm offense. This agreement could potentially spare him from serving time in prison.
However, during a hearing, Delaware U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika postponed a decision on the plea deal due to concerns about its terms.
IRS agents who have come forward as whistleblowers claim that the criminal case against Hunter Biden has been deliberately delayed, preventing more serious charges from being brought against him.
Republicans have criticized the plea deal, arguing that it demonstrates leniency towards the president’s son. They are particularly concerned about the flow of millions of dollars from foreign nationals to the Biden family under suspicious circumstances.
Former President Donald Trump, who is facing his own criminal charges, criticized the DOJ for giving Hunter Biden a “mere traffic ticket.” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) described the plea deal as a “two-tiered system of justice.”

Response from the Attorney General
Attorney General Merrick Garland has denied allegations of political interference. The DOJ has granted approval for U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who maintains he had full authority to bring charges, to testify before Congress.
Hunter Biden’s attorney, Christopher Clark, stated that his client takes responsibility for his mistakes during a period of turmoil and addiction. He expressed Hunter’s commitment to recovery and moving forward.
Regarding the plea deal, Jean-Pierre emphasized that the president and first lady Jill Biden love their son and support him in rebuilding his life. She emphasized that Hunter Biden is a private citizen and that the criminal case is a personal matter for him. Further questions were directed to the DOJ and Hunter Biden’s legal team.
