Hunter Biden accepts to admit his guilt to the federal accusations

Because of the agreement with prosecutors, the son of the US president will not go to jail.

According to a Justice Department court filing in Delaware on Tuesday, US President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, will admit guilt to two federal tax offenses. In connection with buying a gun while using drugs, Biden will also sign a probation agreement. He will likely show up in person in court for an arraignment at a later time.

Hunter Biden will agree to probation on misdemeanor charges of failing to pay his taxes on time in 2017 and 2018, as part of the agreement, which was reached after months of negotiations between federal prosecutors and his legal team. The Justice Department has decided not to prosecute Biden in this case but will nonetheless charge him in relation to his purchase of a pistol while under the influence of narcotics.

The pact, which needs to be approved by a federal judge, will probably be a major issue in the 2024 US presidential race. Hunter Biden won’t be in danger of receiving a federal prison sentence thanks to the agreement that is expected to end the continuing investigation into his alleged crimes.

In accordance with a plea deal, Biden’s attorney, Christopher Clark, stated that Hunter “will take responsibility for two instances of misdemeanor failure to file tax payments when due.” “The government will also file a firearm charge, which will be covered by a pretrial diversion agreement but not by the plea deal.

Hunter, according to Clark, thinks it’s critical to own up to the errors he made at a time of stress and addiction in his life.

The federal charges were the result of a thorough investigation into claims of impropriety in Hunter Biden’s business dealings by David Weiss, the US attorney in Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware, which had been going on since at least 2018. Donald Trump, a former president, assigned Weiss to investigate the lawsuit.

Hunter Biden has openly discussed his battles with drugs at different points in his life. He has worked as a lobbyist, attorney, investment banker, and artist. However, a number of crimes have been linked to an alleged campaign of influence peddling by Republican detractors, which they claim extended to his father.

Due to his involvement in the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma and his pursuit of business opportunities in China, Hunter Biden has come under fire for allegedly using his father’s political connections for his own financial advantage.

The White House released a statement on Tuesday that read, “The president and first lady love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life.” “We won’t be making any more comments.”
