President Joe Biden’s son Hunter will plead guilty to misdemeanor federal tax offenses but avoid prosecution on a felony charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user. Hunter Biden will likely avoid any jail time after striking the plea deal with the Justice Department.
The deal ends a long-running Justice Department investigation into Biden’s second son.
LiveNOW's Andrew Craft asked former federal prosecutor if Hunter Biden's plea deal could be considered, "a slap on the wrist."
Rep. James Comer, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said Hunter Biden is "getting away with a slap on the wrist." House Speaker Kevin McCarthy called the plea, a "sweetheart deal." Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, another presidential challenger, used the same term.
