The Hunter Biden Business

President Biden’s son Hunter agreed Tuesday to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges that will likely keep him out of prison. The lenient treatment is firing up Republican claims of two-tiered justice, especially because there are no answers about the Biden family’s foreign influence peddling.

U.S. Attorney David Weiss began investigating Hunter in 2018, and former Attorney General Bill Barr said Tuesday these charges could have been brought within months of his own confirmation in early 2019.

The tax charges stem from Hunter’s “willful failure” to pay more than $200,000 in taxes in 2017 and 2018 on income of more than $3 million from his foreign business deals. The press is reporting that prosecutors will recommend probation instead of jail time.
