President’s son Hunter Biden strikes deal with Delaware judiciary. This will probably get him impunity.
Washington. 17 months before the presidential election hopes Hunter Biden, the son of incumbent US President Joe Biden, on behalf of his father to have settled long-standing legal conflicts. The 53-year-old pleads guilty to tax offenses from 2017 and 2018. He had paid no income tax for millions in revenue. In addition, the entrepreneur, who has been addicted to drugs for a long time, admits to having told an untruth when buying a firearm.
In both cases, Hunter Binden is likely to be spared a prison sentence, according to court documents released Tuesday in the US state of Delaware.
Biden Junior had already more than repaid the tax liability some time ago. The charge of illegal gun ownership, which might carry a prison sentence of up to 15 years, is to be suspended for the time being. If Hunter Biden is not guilty of anything during a two-year probationary period and completes a kind of correctional program, according to prosecutor David Weiss, who was appointed by President Donald Trump at the time, the charges will be dismissed.

Hunter Biden: President’s son admits guilt
With the admission of guilt, Hunter Biden should also be able to put his other legal and political problems on the record, say legal experts. Republicans have suspected him of corruption for years. For example, through a highly paid job for the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, from which his father Joe is said to have benefited.

His entry into the group’s board of directors in 2014 was controversial because Joe Biden was then Vice President under President Barack Obama and responsible for American Ukraine policy. With their new majority in the House of Representatives, the Republicans had staged a broad wave of investigations in the relevant congressional committees in January and repeatedly by the “Crime Family” Biden spoken, who have monetized relations with Ukraine and China. Solid evidence of this has not yet been presented.
Hunter Biden is the President’s second son. His older brother Beau died of complications from a brain tumor in 2015. Republicans have criticized the prosecutor’s deal with Hunter Biden as an example of lenient justice in favor of Democrats.
