The announcement revealed that Hunter Biden, 53, has been charged with two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-responds-to-hunter-biden-case-sweetheart-deal\/\" title=\"DeSantis reacts to Hunter Biden case: 'Favorable agreement'\">misdemeanor tax offenses<\/a> and a felony firearm offense. However, he has agreed to plead guilty to the tax charges and enter a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/justice-department-charges-hunter-biden\/\" title=\"Justice Department charges Hunter Biden\">pretrial diversion agreement<\/a> for the gun violation.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the agreement, the Justice Department is expected to recommend probation for the tax charges, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.courant.com\/2023\/06\/20\/hunter-biden-will-plead-guilty-in-a-deal-that-likely-averts-time-behind-bars-in-a-tax-and-gun-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sources<\/a>. If Biden complies with the terms of the pretrial agreement regarding the firearm offense, it is likely that the case will be expunged from his record.<\/p>\n<h3>Resolution or Not?<\/h3>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s attorney, Chris Clark, expressed his belief that the plea deal signifies the resolution of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-attorney-says-hunter-biden-probe-ongoing-despite-plea-deal\/\" title=\"US Attorney: Hunter Biden Probe Continues Despite Plea Deal\">years-long federal inquiry<\/a> into his client. &#8220;With the announcement of two agreements between my client, Hunter Biden, and the United States Attorney&#8217;s Office for the District of Delaware, it is my understanding that the five-year investigation into Hunter is resolved,&#8221; Clark stated.<\/p>\n<p>However, critics quickly voiced their concerns and GOP lawmakers pledged to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/we-will-not-rest-comer-vows-hunters-plea-deal-wont-stop-biden-corruption-probe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">continue their investigations<\/a> into the Biden family, casting doubt on the finality of the matter.<\/p>\n<h3>Potential Areas of Inquiry<\/h3>\n<p>One area that could still be subject to investigation is the Biden family&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-calls-travel-lid-for-wednesday-an-hour-after-bobulinski-interview-airs\/\" title=\"Biden Calls Travel Lid for Wednesday an Hour After Bobulinski Interview Airs\">foreign business dealings<\/a>. Former Attorney General William Barr recently disclosed that he referred claims of a $5 million bribery scheme involving Joe and Hunter Biden to Delaware for further investigation.<\/p>\n<h3>Tax Violations and Firearm Charge<\/h3>\n<p>The tax violations stem from Hunter Biden&#8217;s failure to pay over $100,000 in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/zoom-profits-in-2020-660-million-zoom-tax-payment-in-2021-0\/\" title=\"Zoom Profits in 2020: 0 Million. Zoom Tax Payment In 2021: federal income taxes.\">federal income taxes<\/a> for 2017 and 2018, despite earning more than $1.5 million in those years. Regarding the firearm charge, Weiss stated that Biden possessed a firearm despite being an unlawful user of and addicted to a controlled substance.<\/p>\n<p>The arraignment between the parties still requires approval from a judge. If convicted, Biden could face a maximum penalty of 12 months in prison for each tax charge and up to 10 years in prison for the firearm charge, according to Weiss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>guilty to the charges.
