President Joe Biden’s son Hunter has been found guilty on three different federal charges, including failing to pay federal income tax and illegally possessing a weapon.

Agreement Reached with the Justice Department

According to a letter filed in U.S. District Court in Delaware on Tuesday, he has reached an agreement with the Justice Department.

Hunter Biden to Plead Guilty

As part of the agreement, made public Tuesday, Hunter Biden will plead guilty to misdemeanor tax offenses and is expected to reach an agreement with prosecutors on the felony charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user.

It is somewhat unusual to resolve a federal criminal case at the same time the charges are filed in court, though it is not totally unheard of.

End of Long-Running Investigation

The deal ends a long-running Justice Department investigation into Biden’s second son, who has acknowledged struggling with addiction following the 2015 death of his brother Beau Biden.

It also averts a trial that would have generated days or weeks, or distracting headlines for a White House that has strenuously sought to keep its distance from the Justice Department.

Republican Investigations Continue

The news comes as congressional Republicans pursue their own investigations into nearly every facet of Hunter Biden’s business dealings, including examining foreign payments and other aspects of his finances.

It also comes days after a 37-count indictment came down against former President Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents on his Florida estate, another case with even more dramatic political implications.

Questions for Joe Biden

Joe Biden has also faced questions about his son’s business dealings and drug addiction.
