Hunter Biden, President Biden's son, has reached a tentative deal with the U.S. attorney in Delaware, agreeing to enter guilty pleas to two misdemeanor tax charges and admitting to felony gun possession, according to a Justice Department filing.

Weiss' office said in the statement Tuesday morning that the investigation is ongoing. Earlier in the day, Chris Clark, an attorney for Hunter Biden, said in a statement to CBS News, "it is my understanding that the five-year investigation into Hunter is resolved."

Engage in international bribery and sedition and plea bargain for jaywalking.

But that’s not a two-tier justice system.

Biden’s DOJ Moves to Jail Trump Before Election, Sets Trial for Aug 14, 2023!

National File ^ | June 20, 2023 | by CHARLES DOWNS
Posted on 6/20/2023, 11:32:06 AM by Red Badger

Joe Biden and his DOJ are attempting to jail President Trump just before the 2024 Presidential Election in 2024

Tuesday morning it was announced that 45th President Donald Trump’s trial is set to begin on August 14th, 2023, leading many to believe that the Biden DOJ is attempting to jail their political opponent ahead of the 2024 election. Trump’s legal team says they will attempt to push back the trial date.

United States court documents released on Tuesday state that President Trump’s case must start on August 14th, 2023, or soon after. The document reads, “This case is hereby set for a Criminal Jury Trial during the two-week period commencing August 14, 2023, or as soon thereafter as the case may be called. A Calendar Call will be held at 1:45 p.m. on August 8, 2023. All hearings will be held at Alto Lee Adams, Sr. United States Courthouse, 101 South U.S. Highway 1, Courtroom 4008, Fort Pierce, Florida 34950.”

Documents also show that all pretrial motions must be submitted to the court by July 24th, 2023. Trump’s legal team is expected to submit a request asking for a delay in the trial start date before July 24th, 2023.

During his remarks following Trump’s indictment, Jack Smith said he wants Trump’s trial to start as soon as possible.

As polling shows Donald Trump beating Joe Biden in the 2024 election, many took Smith’s announcement as Biden’s DOJ attempt to lock up Joe Biden’s political opponent before voters go to the polls.

National File previously reported that Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart granted Joe Biden’s DOJ request to place a gag order on President Trump. Trump can no longer post about his case on social media without the court’s permission.

The case against President Trump coincides with Hunter Biden taking a sweetheart deal with DOJ prosecutors to avoid a felony conviction on a federal gun charge and to avoid jail time on charges of willfully not paying his taxes.

Oh, they’ve hijacked this government alright. But it’s going to take a big event or a trigger to wake people up...

It’s just a matter of time.

Btw, if I ran my household like these professional class lawyer politicians do the country, I’d be broke, in debt for life, lose everything and I’d be living under a freeway overpass.

Hunter recruited Felons on the top 10 wanted list to join his scheme to distribute Drugs through the U.S. Postal Service.

That’s 20 years!

Biden’s kid get’s a tap on the wrist.

Trump’s kid would be in front of a firing squad.

This system ain’t gonna work.

In the mid-80s went to visit my extended family members in Europe who went through Nazism or who were living under Communism.

We are watching it play out again.

Really don’t want to go down that route.

Renzi himself, there’s evidence tying Smith to illegal wiretaps, jury influencing, payoffs for false testimony.

Jack Smith said he wants Trump’s trial to start as soon as possible.

This is how the democrats democracy operates

Media approved

Heritage foundation is in the process of hiring 6,000 MAGA people to invade DC from day one if Trump wins!! The mistakes in appointees WILL NOT happen again! You really have to give Trump the benefit of the doubt here the ENTIRE reason they are after him so fearlessly is BECAUSE he will NEVER comply to being part of their club!! Trump had NO IDEA what evil corruption existed in our government and for that matter neither did we!! I have been actually STUNNED at the levels these bastards have gone to to get Trump!! Putting the fear of God into law firms so the man CAN NOT even defend himself JUST DISGRACEFUL!! Our constitution is NOTHING more than a piece of paper WITHOUT the justice system to ENFORCE it, the constitution has NO MEANING anymore!!

So CBS reported that Hunter Biden’s lawyers think all other Hunter Biden criminal issues are “resolved.” We need to see what is inside this plea agreement. Did the prosecutor promise that to Hunter Biden and his legal team? This better not be true.
