President Joe Biden‘s son Hunter has reportedly reached a plea agreement in the federal investigation into tax-related issues.
Hunter is expected to plead guilty to two federal misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his taxes.
On Tuesday, two sources familiar with the agreement told NBC News that it includes a provision in which the U.S. attorney has agreed to recommend probation for Biden for his tax violations.
Chris Clark, attorney for Hunter Biden, told NBC News in a statement: “With the announcement of two agreements between my client, Hunter Biden, and the Unites States Attorney's Office for the District of Delaware, it is my understanding that the five-year investigation into Hunter is resolved.
“Hunter will take responsibility for two instances of misdemeanor failure to file tax payments when due pursuant to a plea agreement. A firearm charge, which will be subject to a pretrial diversion agreement and will not be the subject of the plea agreement, will also be filed by the Government. I know Hunter believes it is important to take responsibility for these mistakes he made during a period of turmoil and addiction in his life. He looks forward to continuing his recovery and moving forward.”

Biden is also facing a separate gun possession charge that will likely be dismissed if he meets certain conditions, according to court documents filed on Tuesday.
“The President and First Lady love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life. We will have no further comment,” White House spokesman Ian Sams said in an e-mailed statement to The Hill.

And, poor guy, will get a slap on the hand.
Everytime Biden appears, the heck with Let’s Go Brandon. We should be shouting TWO TIER, TWO TIER.
Victory alone
If this isn’t a classic “Rules for thee and not for me” application of the LAW, or lack thereof, I don’t know what is. What a joke this two tiered and completely out of control, this judicial system has become. People still in jail in DC for just walking in the capital, and this piece of trash walks. Absolutely disgusting!
This Hunter Biden nonsense takes the cake. Any other Joe would be hung out to fry and bankrupted. If people need any more incentive to believe the extent of corruption in this administration and justice department, it’s right in front of them.
How do they absorb the bribery and foreign dealing filings into the gun and tax charges is crooked as a stick. When are the whole lot of them going to be fitted for orange jumpsuits?

WHAT A JOKE. It’s not April. This is a miscarriage of justice.
We knew he would be like Teflon Gotti. Nothing touches him.
Democrats do not read a paper to see all that they did was wrong. Dems are stupid and don’t read the two sides to every story. They do not have a brain to work with.
Sorry but that’s my opinion.
It’s not as if anyone thought the outcome would be any different. Seriously, did anyone believe H. Bribe’em would do any “time”? C’mon, man!
Let’s go, Brandon!
If YOU or I had done such abominable things, they’d throw us in with the JAN 6th prisoners to ROT and thrown away the key. Is this justice? God ROT these double standards!
Alas Gets OFF unless breaks Diversion
Offer Donald Trump the same sweet deal of a slap on the pinky finger they gave Hunter Biden.
