President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, has agreed to plead guilty to charges that he willfully failed to pay federal income taxes. Photo: Al Drago/Bloomberg NewsThe Justice Department said Tuesday that Hunter Biden would plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax offenses and enter a diversion program that would allow him to avoid a felony firearms conviction if he meets certain conditions. If he successfully completes the program, he would serve no jail time for the firearms charge. A judge will determine his sentence on the tax charges. Tax prosecutions for misdemeanor charges, without other charges, rarely lead to prison time.

Hunter Biden's criminal plea deal still needs approval from a judge — which isn't guaranteed. The plea deal, however, still must be approved by a judge. Most plea deals skate through court without any problems, but judges do occasionally reject plea deals in high-profile cases. With a plea deal, prosecutors bind themselves to recommend a particular sentence. It's unusual for a judge to reject a plea deal if the sentencing recommendations are too harsh.

☆ For Biden, the Personal and Politically Painful Troubles of His Son
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-20 | by ( Peter Baker | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

After more than a half-century in politics, no subject may be more personally painful nor politically problematic for President Biden than his troubled son, Hunter. He is by all accounts a gaping wound in his heart and the most sensitive soft spot in his campaign armor. On the one hand, Hunter Biden’s agreement on Tuesday to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax crimes capped a five-year investigation without allegations of wrongdoing by the president or, presumably, prison time for his youngest son. But on the other hand, it put Hunter once again in the cross-hairs of Mr. Biden’s adversaries who instantly complained that the wayward son got off too easy. The phrase “Hunter Biden’s laptop” has taken on totemic meaning for opponents of the president even if they cannot describe what was actually found on the computer that turned up at a repair shop in 2020.

Hunter Biden's plea deal with federal prosecutors is "far from standard operating procedure," a legal expert said. The president's son has agreed to plead guilty to two criminal misdemeanors of failing to pay income tax. Bederow, who called Hunter Biden's reported full payment back to the IRS a "significant factor," added that it's "fair" to question whether Hunter Biden received special treatment in the case. Despite owing in excess of $100,000 in federal income taxes each year, he did not pay the income tax due for either year." "At the end of the day, at least for now, Hunter Biden will be a convicted tax cheat," said Bederow.

Congressional Republicans on Tuesday blasted the plea deal Hunter Biden reached with the Justice Department, accusing President Biden of orchestrating a lenient penalty for his son and promising to intensify their investigations of the Biden family. Speaker Kevin McCarthy said the agreement, in which Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors for failing to pay taxes on time and could avoid prosecution on a separate gun charge, “continues to show the two-tier system in America.”He and many other Republicans drew a contrast between the charges against Mr. Biden and the 37-count indictment the Justice Department unsealed this month against former President Donald J. Trump on charges that he mishandled highly classified national security documents and lied to and obstructed investigators looking into the matter. “If you are the president’s leading political opponent, D.O.J. tries to literally put in you jail and give you prison time,” Mr. McCarthy told reporters at the Capitol. “If you are the president’s son, you get a sweetheart deal.”

Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to two criminal charges for failing to pay taxes. The gun charge will likely be dismissed if Biden seeks treatment for substance abuse. In a court filing Tuesday, prosecutors in the US Attorney's office in Delaware said the son of President Joe Biden has agreed to plead guilty to two criminal counts for failing to pay income tax. Hunter Biden reportedly failed to pay around $1.2 million in taxes in 2017 and 2018, but his attorneys say he has since paid the IRS the money in full. House Republicans, armed with their razor-thin majority, have also zeroed in on Hunter Biden through multiple probes.

CNN —Some news organizations are beating around the bush when covering prominent figures who hold detestable views, many of which are wholly unhinged from reality. That has been on display over the last 24 hours on three different fronts: In stories about Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “This type of normal language news organizations use doesn’t communicate how unhinged some of this stuff is,” media columnist Margaret Sullivan told me Tuesday. But the duty of a journalist and news organizations is to tell the story, without fear or favor. It gives those figures who profit financially and/or politically from extremist rhetoric license to continue trafficking in the destructive noise.

CNN —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. Trump criticized the Hunter Biden plea deal on Truth Social. Hunter Biden’s legal team sought a meeting with the Justice Department in April, which Weiss attended, and where Hunter Biden’s lawyers gave a presentation detailing why they believe Hunter Biden shouldn’t be charged. Part of their argument included that Hunter Biden paid back taxes owed, including penalties. Correction: This story has been updated to reflect that Hunter Biden is pleading guilty to two tax charges and struck a deal to resolve the gun charge.

☆ Garland’s Distance From Hunter Biden Inquiry Fails to Quell Critics

Attorney General Merrick B. Garland was 4,000 miles away from Delaware on Tuesday when federal prosecutors announced a deal for Hunter Biden on tax and gun charges that would most likely ensure he does not serve a prison sentence. It reflected the distance Mr. Garland has sought from the investigation into his boss’s son. Mr. Garland’s aides say his trip to Europe had been weeks in the making, and his absence from the country was happenstance, not calculation. The investigation into Hunter Biden predates Mr. Garland’s appointment. Mr. Garland did not dismiss Mr. Weiss, a Republican, to ensure the appearance of impartiality — a strategy aimed at protecting the department, and to some degree himself, from accusations of political favoritism.

Law Firms Duane Morris LLP FollowJune 20 (Reuters) - David Weiss, the top federal prosecutor in Delaware, wrapped up the most closely watched investigation of his career on Tuesday when U.S. President Joe Biden’s son Hunter agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor tax crimes. Weiss, 67, who was appointed to his post by Republican then-President Donald Trump, agreed to stay on the job into the Biden administration to complete a long-running probe into Hunter Biden’s finances. Hunter Biden, 53, agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of willfully failing to pay income taxes and reached an agreement on a gun-related offense that could allow him to avoid a conviction, according to court filings. “I don’t think he’s thinking about the politics at all,” said Thomas Ostrander, who worked with Weiss at law firm Duane Morris. Weiss was nominated to be U.S. attorney in Delaware by Trump in 2018 with the support of Delaware’s two Democratic U.S. senators.

June 20 (Reuters) - Hunter Biden, the son of U.S. President Joe Biden, has agreed to plead guilty to two tax charges and enter an agreement that may allow him to avoid a conviction on a firearm offense, according to court filings on Tuesday. WILLFUL FAILURE TO PAY FEDERAL INCOME TAXHunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to two counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax, according to court papers. He is charged with twice failing to pay over $100,000 in income tax. The amounts stem from over $1.5 million in taxable income Biden received in 2017 and again in 2018, according to the court papers. Biden is entering a pretrial diversion agreement on the firearm charge, prosecutors said in a letter to the court on Tuesday.

Hunter Biden agreed with the Justice Department on Tuesday to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and accept terms that would allow him to avoid prosecution on a separate gun charge, a big step toward ending a long-running and politically explosive investigation into the finances, drug use and international business dealings of President Biden’s troubled son. Under a deal hashed out with a federal prosecutor who was appointed by President Donald J. Trump, Mr. Biden agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his 2017 and 2018 taxes on time and be sentenced to probation. The Justice Department also charged Mr. Biden but, under what is known as a pretrial diversion agreement, said it would not prosecute him in connection with his purchase of a handgun in 2018 during a period when he was using drugs. The deal is contingent on Mr. Biden remaining drug-free for 24 months and agreeing never to own a firearm again. Mr. Biden is expected to appear in court in Delaware in the coming days to be arraigned on the misdemeanor tax charges and plead guilty.

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday he could not defend the criminal allegations against Donald Trump, his former boss and current campaign rival, in a federal indictment charging the ex-president with mishandling classified documents. "This indictment contains serious charges, and I cannot defend what is alleged," Pence said on CNBC's "Squawk Box." Trump is charged with willfully retaining national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, concealing documents and making false statements. Pence fell out with Trump after he refused to aid the former president's efforts to overturn his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden. Pence reiterated his call for new leadership and imbued his thoughts on Trump's indictment with campaign rhetoric.

Trump has long accused it and the U.S. Justice Department of being out to get him. Trump's closest rival for the nomination, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, decried the "weaponization" of federal bureaucracy after Trump's indictment. Haley said Trump had acted recklessly, although she also said the FBI and Justice Department had "lost all credibility with the American people." None of the Republican president campaigns responded to requests for comment about their criticism of federal law enforcement and calls for an overhaul. A spokesman for the Justice Department, which oversees the FBI, declined to comment.

candidate would give President Biden his best shot at re-election and that another Trump presidency would be an orgy of petty political retribution and reckless policymaking that would make his first term seem, by comparison, responsible and tame? But the people who argue that Comey’s recommendation was a travesty of justice cannot now argue that Trump should be let off on far more serious charges. That’s essentially what Trump threatened to do against Clinton. It remains true that the federal prosecution of Trump, along with his potential conviction and incarceration, will be a fateful moment in American history. If Trump can be above the law, in a case of this kind, then we will have lost the rule of law.

Supporters of Trump in Congress have now launched a plan months in the making to discredit federal prosecutors. McCarthy called it a "grave injustice" and said that House Republicans "will hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable." "God bless President Trump."
