Tuesday, June 20, 2023
Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, is going to plead guilty to misdemeanor charges.
According to the New York Times on Tuesday, the Justice Department "reached an agreement with Hunter Biden for him to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and avoid prosecution on a separate gun charge, according to a court filing...moving to close a long-running and politically explosive investigation into the finances, drug use and international business dealings of President Biden’s troubled son."

The Justice Department would charge Mr. Biden but agree not to prosecute him in connection with his purchase of a handgun in 2018 during a period when he was using drugs. The deal would be contingent on Mr. Biden remaining drug free for 24 months and agreeing never to own a firearm again."
Lawyers and White House on Record
The agreement must still be approved by a federal judge, according to the Times, and Hunger Biden is expected to appear in federal court in Delaware in the coming days to be arraigned on the misdemeanor tax charges and plead guilty.
“With the announcement of two agreements between my client, Hunter Biden, and the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware, it is my understanding that the five-year investigation into Hunter is resolved,” Mr. Biden’s lawyer, Christopher Clark, said in a statement.
A White House spokesman, Ian Sams, said in a statement, “The president and first lady love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life. We will have no further comment.”
