Hunter Biden's Legal Problems May Not Be Over

The federal investigation into Hunter Biden is continuing, officials stressed, despite his agreement to a plea deal on Tuesday.

Hunter, the 53-year-old son of President Joe Biden and the subject of intense right-wing animosity, accepted a plea deal brokered by U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss as part of the federal probe into his tax history. As part of the deal, he is expected to plead guilty to two federal misdemeanor counts for failure to pay his income taxes in 2017 and 2018. A charge of unlawfully possessing a firearm remains active, though court documents obtained by NBC News suggest that it could be dismissed if Biden accepts certain conditions.

In a statement on the deal provided to Newsweek by Biden's attorney, Christopher J. Clark, the lawyer said that it was his understanding that the deal would resolve and wrap up the federal investigation into his client.
