President Joe Biden’s son Hunter has reached a deal with federal prosecutors on charges he failed to pay federal income tax and illegally possessed a weapon, according to a letter
details on the agreement and what s being said about the deal tonight. good evening, david. bret, good evening. the charges are narrow and do not implicate president joe biden or any larger web of corruption in allegations made by republicans, mainly on capitol hill. hunter biden will plead guilty to two tax offenses, misdemeanor tax offenses. the doj said hunter biden earned more than $1.5 billion in 2017. 2018 owing 100 grand in federal income taxes. each year and those taxes were never paid by the deadline. while not pleading to the a felony drug charge he will instead enter a pre-trial diversificatdiversion agreement. probation is likely. prosecutors say biden had possession of a gun as a drug user. his attorney responded, quote: hunter believes it is important to take responsibility for these mistakes that he made. house speaker kevin mccarthy believes the justice department is trying to stonewall house
related to possible tax offenses, and possibly one charge related to the purchase of a gun. but even last week, as we reported, hunter s legal team met with the justice department but we heard from multiple sources there was no indication that that investigation is going to yield any charges and at this point it s unclear exactly how that will resolve. but also their relationship with the white house. paula reid, thank you so much. is the flurry of activity in the florida legislature helping to pave the way for a ron desantis presidential campaign? we re going live to florida next. every piece of cargo is.s. and where it s going.

prove the fact that they were taking money from our adversaries around the world for reasons that we have not yet determined. reasons we have not determined let s bring in the criminal defense and trial attorney brian, it s great to have you on the knee, denominator question seems to be why has hunter biden been able to skate for some five years. andy mccarthy said the gun offenses are so straightforward they would take a competent investigator five days not five years some of the tax offenses which stretch back seven years or more are so undeniable that lanes were placed on hunters property and has been widely reported he borrowed thousands of dollars from a crony to pay what he owed the government yet here we are five years later. i m a big clippers fan and looks like the clippers might win a championship before hunter biden gets indicted for anything great that s a big bet. i agree. i hope we are still alive before that happened but this is serious stuff.
