Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, will plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and struck a deal with federal prosecutors to resolve a felony gun charge, the Justice Department said Tuesday in court filings.
As part of the plea agreement, the Justice Department has agreed to recommend a sentence of probation for the two counts of failing to pay taxes in a timely matter for the years 2017 and 2018, according to sources. Hunter Biden owed at least $100,000 in federal taxes for 2017, and at least $100,000 in 2018, but did not pay what was due to the Internal Revenue Service by the deadlines.
A judge will have the final say on any sentence.
Hunter Biden’s attorney, Christopher Clark, said in a statement that the deal with federal prosecutors will “resolve” the Justice Department’s long-running criminal probe into the president’s son.
“Hunter will take responsibility for two instances of misdemeanor failure to file tax payments when due pursuant to a plea agreement,” Clark said. “A firearm charge, which will be subject to a pretrial diversion agreement and will not be the subject of the plea agreement, will also be filed by the Government. I know Hunter believes it is important to take responsibility for these mistakes he made during a period of turmoil and addiction in his life. He looks forward to continuing his recovery and moving forward.”
In a brief statement, the White House said the Bidens “love their son.”
“The President and First Lady love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life. We will have no further comment,” said White House spokesman Ian Sams.

Nothing on the impending bribery and influence peddling.
Hunter will be going to Penn St. The rest of us would go to St. Penn.
You or I try this, and we be gone!
Let Hunter Biden and daddy pay for a new headquarters for the FBI. Oh wait......I think that’s what just happened for several agencies!
My 8 yr old nephew got a harsher sentence for spending 400 bucks on my sisters credit card on roblux(Yeah 8 yrs old knows how to hack an apple account) he should have just told her he’s a Democrat
Oh, yeah. Ten years in the federal slam and a $250,000 fine for the plebs, for the ruling class, nothing.
Laws, we don’t need no stinkin laws, we are democrats!
I think the Democrats, and liberal radical types, will use the Hunter Biden case, to show that no man is above the law.
To anyone saying the Trump prosecution is political, they will say, look, the Justice Department went after Hunter Biden, as if to prove that there is no political consideration given to their legal actions. They will say that the president’s son was not above the law, and that Trump is also not above the law.
The degree of corruption in the DOJ is almost comical.
.
As I interpret it: “Plead guilty, and we’ll let you off - no jail, no fine!” Funny how that works.
Insane. This attorney had to be gotten to, he was a good pick when Trump named him. This is the Ukraine/China/laptop/bribery corruption case too, the attorney cleared him of criminal charges on all of that too. Either this attorney’s family is being held hostage somewhere or an unmarked bank account somewhere just grew 9 zeros. Hunter biden just got let off for everything, not just the tax fraud and felony guns stuff, but all the corruption too. All while the most honorable man to ever hold office here is under felony indictment in 2 separate totally crooked courts. Sickening.
Biden’s DOJ Moves to Jail Trump Before Election, Sets Trial for Aug 14, 2023!

Joe Biden and his DOJ are attempting to jail President Trump just before the 2024 Presidential Election in 2024
Tuesday morning it was announced that 45th President Donald Trump’s trial is set to begin on August 14th, 2023, leading many to believe that the Biden DOJ is attempting to jail their political opponent ahead of the 2024 election. Trump’s legal team says they will attempt to push back the trial date.
United States court documents released on Tuesday state that President Trump’s case must start on August 14th, 2023, or soon after. The document reads, “This case is hereby set for a Criminal Jury Trial during the two-week period commencing August 14, 2023, or as soon thereafter as the case may be called. A Calendar Call will be held at 1:45 p.m. on August 8, 2023. All hearings will be held at Alto Lee Adams, Sr. United States Courthouse, 101 South U.S. Highway 1, Courtroom 4008, Fort Pierce, Florida 34950.”
Documents also show that all pretrial motions must be submitted to the court by July 24th, 2023. Trump’s legal team is expected to submit a request asking for a delay in the trial start date before July 24th, 2023.
During his remarks following Trump’s indictment, Jack Smith said he wants Trump’s trial to start as soon as possible.
As polling shows Donald Trump beating Joe Biden in the 2024 election, many took Smith’s announcement as Biden’s DOJ attempt to lock up Joe Biden’s political opponent before voters go to the polls.
National File previously reported that Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart granted Joe Biden’s DOJ request to place a gag order on President Trump. Trump can no longer post about his case on social media without the court’s permission.
The case against President Trump coincides with Hunter Biden taking a sweetheart deal with DOJ prosecutors to avoid a felony conviction on a federal gun charge and to avoid jail time on charges of willfully not paying his taxes.
No way the deep-state can avoid questions on their puppets the Bidens, so its best to get this issue out of the way now, and have Hunter completely disappear for the next 16 months, so they can focus on “Trump had nuclear codes in his closet!!”
The Democrats don’t care about optics since they already know the outcome of the 2024 election.
It would be interesting if the tax “conviction” precludes any other prosecution on tax crimes ( like not reporting multi-million dollar bribes and not paying taxes on them ) because of double jeopardy rules.
Yes Joey is going to have to keep Xi happy and toe the line or the cat gets let out of the bag.
Xi’s people know more what’s going on with the Biden’s then our feds do.
Now, if his last name was “Trump”…….
“Hunter Biden to plead guilty to misdemeanor federal tax charges, strikes deal on misgun charge”
Hunter Biden to plead guilty to misdemeanor federal tax charges, strikes deal on misdemeanor gun charge that normal people would have been charged with felonies. It’s good to be the Son of the King.
