Hunter Biden to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges

After a five-year investigation, President Biden’s son Hunter will plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and will likely avoid prison time in a plea deal with federal prosecutors. Two sources tell NBC News the prosecutor will recommend probation. Republicans are blasting it as a “sweetheart deal.” NBC News’ Peter Alexander and Ken Dilanian report.

I firmly believe joe thinks that his son has done nothing wrong. He realizes he is above the law.

[kurtgriffin]

wasn't aware there was such a thing as misdemeanor federal tax evasion sure seems like everyone else including movie stars go to prison for this

[VAMPZDJ]

"No one is above the law" except everyone on the side that says that. This dude impregnated his 14 year old niece

[mr.poon.tang.]

And the CP on his laptop, when will he be charged?

[alanboring]

Sounds like a prosecutor and a federal judge both need to be put on a suicide watch!

[soonerdad]

He isn't getting away with anything, his and Joe's troubles have yet to even get started. Those two joke charges are not going to save them from the reality that is about to hit them

[MindoverMatter]

All Americans should petition this because if was any 1 of US citizens no matter our race we would be locked inside of a prison

[SeanDoe]

When is the Big Guy getting indicted???

[devinproctor]

They should investigate him and his dad and he should had been charged with felonies

And what they did for trump in new york ..samething... nothing..

[eldinko]

I agree that HB should receive a more severe punishment, but not lets act like the GOP hasnt has its fair share of slaps on the wrists before.

[oprrrah]

So he got away with it... Corruption has it's benefits.

[jameshaxby]

How much? time could he get with the gun charge and all

[lawabidingdad]

It's a big party and your not invited

[RalphFDM]

Is that by having witness protection to the IRS Whistleblower, means in some circumstances, he may charge of Consparacy Charges for alleging connections to special treatment, if he knows that his statements are true and solid keep it

[stonethedon]

I dont get it. Iam from austria, my political views are more republican if you wNt to say so. My wife, living in the us, she is more liberal. Also her kids. But guess what, we all come along even we have didferent views sometimes. We are a family and we love each other. Just be honest, those double standarts wenall hate and they are everywhere unfortunately. That has to stop. My 2 cents

[zuzauramek]

He was late paying taxes... Wow.. terrible things to do not like to have a mountain of top-secret and classified documents ....

[JScott-lgjb]

I wonder if trump had tried to get a plea deal he’d have gotten a lighter treatment too. Like I’m not accusing people of anything, I’m just wondering if trump had looked for one what they’d have given him. Either way I think Biden should pardon him once his trials are over so we can all just move on. Im saying that as a Biden voter.

As long as he can keep smoking crack cocaine he’s a happy camper 🏕️
