Staff Reports
The Biden family's behavior continues to raise questions about their compliance with the law, as President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, has reportedly reached a favorable agreement with federal prosecutors from the Biden administration's Justice Department. It is reported that Hunter will avoid jail time and receive lenient treatment after admitting guilt to two misdemeanor charges of willfully evading federal income taxes, totaling approximately $1.2 million. Furthermore, he has agreed to acknowledge the unlawful possession of a weapon but will participate in a diversion program that focuses on rehabilitation instead of incarceration.

While the investigation into Hunter's wrongdoing is still ongoing, it appears that the president's son will face minimal consequences, despite confessing to multiple federal crimes that would typically carry significant sentences for an average citizen. Apart from the tax and gun charges, Hunter remains entangled in various legal issues, including investigations by Republicans into the business dealings of the Biden family.
According to GOP Chairman Rep. James Comer, there are allegations of corruption, influence peddling, and potentially bribery by the Bidens. Republicans are examining whether the family's financial transactions, both domestic and foreign, pose national security risks and compromise President Biden's ability to govern impartially.
However, critics on the left perceive Hunter Biden's plea deal as an attempt to downplay a presidential scandal and bury it along with other forgotten controversies. Despite years of investigations into Hunter's activities, there appears to have been limited scrutiny of the alleged influence-peddling operation involving the Biden family. Detractors liken this situation to apprehending the getaway driver after a bank robbery without delving into the broader implications.
Legal analysts also argue that Hunter's overseas lobbying work violated the federal Foreign Agents Registration Act, which mandates individuals acting as representatives of foreign entities to register with the U.S. government. By failing to register, Hunter may face up to five years in federal prison and substantial fines for violating this law.
Additionally, Hunter faces an ongoing case regarding unpaid child support for his four-year-old daughter, Navy Joan Roberts, whose existence the Biden family, including the President, has chosen not to acknowledge. Hunter recently appeared in Little Rock, Arkansas, for a deposition in the paternity case. The mother's lawyers claim that Hunter has been evasive about his income and even requested permission for the child to take his surname, despite objecting to the petition.
The Biden family continues to be embroiled in controversies, yet they have consistently avoided significant consequences, allowing Hunter to escape severe punishment despite committing federal crimes. It is crucial for the American people to demand justice and accountability from their elected officials and their families.
