Hunter Biden Takes Plea Deal on Tax & Gun Charges, But Legal Trouble May Not Be Over

Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, is pleading guilty to federal tax offenses and a separate felony gun charge for which he is avoiding prosecution, according to a plea agreement with the Justice Department announced Tuesday. The deal caps a multiyear probe by the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Delaware. As a result, Hunter Biden is unlikely to spend any time behind bars despite the sweeping investigation into his personal and business conduct that Republicans have attempted to portray as unethical influence peddling directly implicating the president in corruption. But is this the end of Hunter Biden’s legal trouble? We speak with The Intercept’s Ken Klippenstein about the plea deal, as well as what other evidence the FBI may have about Hunter Biden.

Put his ass in jail. I agree with Republicans. This is an obvious slap on the wrist.

The average American would be sentenced to prison for 10 years or more. End special treatment for politicians and the wealthy. This is a perfect example of, "rules for thee but not for me."

How is it a misdemeanor to lie in a federal gun application about not being a lifelong crackhead? Arrested at 18 for crack, kicked out of the military for crack, had baby with a stripper he doesn't remember meeting because of crack. That is a crackhead.

So, show us the gun application, and explain this to all the people in prison for 15 years for lying about drugs on a federal gun application.

Hunter doesn't have any legal problems. His daddy has fixed it so he gets less than a slap on the wrist.

It would be good if someone could tell us how many weapons-owning drug users are in the US Gulag.

If Hunter was ANYone else he'd be in Prison ✊🏿✊🏻✊🏾✊🏼

I don’t care what he did with guns and taxes. I care about his family’s huge role in the origins of the Ukraine war. Would be grateful for some real reporting on the subject from DN, but something tells me it’s not coming.

If that's what they got him on you know what he actually did was WAAAAY worse!

That is the real👀☠️💀 democracy for politicians .👹..who says they are not about the law..🫵🫵🫵🫵

If Hunter is not serving jail time, then I doubt Trump is going to prison.

[williethomas]

The presidential pardon all prisoners if Hunter does not go to jail!

[chriss]

oh yes he's a democrat so he gets deals with no jail time right?

[websoup]

Holy crap i was hoping this channel is not compromised but it's a thinly veiled corporate media propaganda 😅

[richardchang]

And this is the son of a sitting president? I thought George W. was spoiled.

[NameRequiredSoHere]

I believe in equal justice. Trump is as crooked as they come and I'm glad he's finally facing justice. And if the Biden's are crooked, they should be treated the same as Trump.

The Intercept is co-opted the moment they kicked out Glenn 😂

[marinated]

"they found nothing on his laptop?"
"It's complicated"
Yeah okay mate. Stopped watching right there.

[shangtsung]

Republicans hate guns when it comes to hunter biden 🤣🤣🤣
