▼ + stars: | 2023-11-15 | by ( Dan Mangan | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, departs federal court after a plea hearing on two misdemeanor charges of willfully failing to pay income taxes in Wilmington, Delaware, July 26, 2023. The criminal probe of Hunter that led to the pending case in Delaware federal court began in late 2018, during the Trump administration. Weiss soon afterward was appointed special counsel in the case by Attorney General Merrick Garland. The prosecutor has been criticized by Trump and his allies for the initial plea deal and for not charging Hunter with more serious crimes. Hunter's lawyers, in turn, argue that the current gun charges are barred by the diversion agreement.

The indictment of Trump on four new federal criminal charges, all related to the former president’s effort to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election, lays out some of those lies one by one. Even in listing 21 lies, the 45-page indictment does not come close to capturing the entirety of Trump’s massive catalogue of false claims about the election. The lie that the Justice Department had identified significant concerns that may have affected the outcome of the election. (Page 16)The indictment notes that Trump made this claim on his infamous January 2, 2021 call with Raffensperger, whose staff responded that the claim was inaccurate. The lie that Pennsylvania “want[s] to recertify.” (Page 38) Trump made this false claim in his January 6 speech.
