The armed Department of Justice ultimately chose to engage into a plea agreement regarding Hunter Biden’s violation of the law. Two of the accusations concerned his taxes, and one involved a firearm. The Department of Justice waited five years to determine the outcome of the Hunter investigation and the allegations of influence peddling against the Biden family.
The DOJ issued a statement regarding the allegations and the plea agreement.
Hunter Biden has been charged with two misdemeanor tax offenses and a felony firearm offense and has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to the tax offenses and enter into a pre-trial diversion agreement with regard to the firearm charge at a proceeding to be scheduled by the assigned United States District Court judge.
According to the tax Information, Hunter Biden received taxable income in excess of $1,500,000 annually in calendar years 2017 and 2018. Despite owing in excess of $100,000 in federal income taxes each year, he did not pay the income tax due for either year.
According to the firearm Information, from on or about October 12, 2018 through October 23, 2018, Hunter Biden possessed a firearm despite knowing he was an unlawful user of and addicted to a controlled substance.
A declaration at the bottom of the statement reads, “The investigation is ongoing.”

President Trump responded to the news on Truth Social almost immediately, stating:
“Wow! The corrupt Biden DOJ just cleared up hundreds of years of criminal liability by giving Hunter Biden a mere “traffic ticket.” Our system is BROKEN!”
Christopher Clark, Hunter Biden’s attorney, was interrogated after the plea was divulged.
Clark stated in his statement that he expected Hunter Biden to be “released without conditions.” He did concede that the judge will ultimately determine the course of action.

Before it becomes official, the judge must accept the plea deal, which, barring anything strange, he or she is likely to do.
The interviewer questioned, “The prosecutors are not asking for jail time. Are you concerned that the judge here might freelance?”
“I think what’s fair is my client gets on with his life,” Clarke answered.
