Jon Tester: Hunter Biden&#8217;s Guilty Plea Could Impact President Biden&#8217;s 2024 Election Chances<\/h2>\n<p>Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) expressed concerns on Thursday that Hunter Biden&#8217;s recent deal to plead guilty to federal tax and gun charges could potentially harm President Joe Biden&#8217;s chances in the 2024 general election.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Justice Department revealed in a court filing on Tuesday that President Biden&#8217;s son had agreed to plead guilty to two counts of &#8220;willful failure to pay&#8221; his <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>. Additionally, Hunter Biden would enter a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/justice-department-charges-hunter-biden\/\" title=\"Justice Department charges Hunter Biden\">pretrial diversion agreement<\/a>&#8221; regarding the possession of a firearm as an unlawful user of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When asked by reporters outside the Senate chamber about the potential impact of this deal on the upcoming election, Tester responded, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know. I mean, I think anything could be made into a liability in elections. Look, to be honest with you, I don&#8217;t think it helps him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Investigation and Charges<\/h3>\n<p>The limited charges against Hunter Biden were brought by U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware, following whistleblower allegations of politicization within the Justice Department&#8217;s investigation. Despite these allegations, President Biden maintains that his son has done nothing wrong. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/steve-scalise-blasts-biden-order-allowing-covid-vaccine-to-illegal-immigrants\/\" title=\"Steve Scalise Blasts Biden Order Allowing Covid Vaccine To Illegal Immigrants\">press release issued<\/a> on Tuesday, Weiss&#8217;s office stated that Hunter Biden had been charged with &#8220;two misdemeanor tax offenses and a felony firearm offense,&#8221; while emphasizing that the investigation is still ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have long argued that Hunter Biden&#8217;s business dealings in Ukraine and China may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-investigation-devon-archer-cooperating-with-comer-on-burisma-testimony\/\" title=\"Devon Archer aids Comer in Burisma testimony amid Hunter Biden probe.\">involve crimes related<\/a> to foreign lobbying or money laundering. However, they assert that the new charges do not support these claims.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<h3>President Biden&#8217;s Response<\/h3>\n<p>President Biden has consistently denied any wrongdoing and maintains that he has never been involved in his son&#8217;s ventures. White House Counsel&#8217;s Office spokesman Ian Sams told reporters on Tuesday that the president and first lady Jill Biden &#8220;love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life.
