now with elycia menendez in for alex. reporter: the bread and butter of conservative media for years now has been hyping up the investigation into president biden s adult son, hunter biden. it s never been seen to end. they used it to create asymmetry that didn t really exist between trump s alleged crimes and what they speculated was the crime ridden biden family, and so long as this case was open and the investigation was behind closed doors, they could really make it whatever they wanted it to be. and even though that was the case, even though republicans have been dining out on this hunter investigation for years, they also have been up in arms about how it hadn t finished yet. they were aghast that trump was indicted before hunter. they wanted hunter s case resolved immediately. well, today we have some closure in that case. today we got the news hunter biden is expected today enter a plea deal for two tax misdemeanors in that investigation. he s also expected to strik
