“A Two Tiered Justice System”: Breaking Down The Hunter Biden Plea Deal
On Tuesday, it was announced President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, would plead guilty to federal tax offenses but would escape prosecution on a separate gun charge in an agreement with the Justice Department. He has been under investigation by the House Oversight Committee since 2018 for his family’s foreign business practices, which House Republicans suspect to be international influence-peddling schemes. The deal with the DOJ will spare him a charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user if he agrees to certain conditions. Law Professor at George Washington University, Jonathan Turley, joins the Rundown to break down why he may never face a true felony charge for these offenses, the accusations that this shows the nation is operating a two-tiered justice system, and touches upon former President Donald Trump’s trial set for early August.
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced his 2024 presidential candidacy two weeks ago in New Hampshire, making sure to take aim at the GOP primaries’ current frontrunner, former President Trump. The 2024 GOP candidates have been facing tough questions about the former President’s indictment; however, now that President Biden’s son Hunter has entered a plea deal on gun and tax charges, many are questioning the impartiality of the Justice Department. Governor Christie joins the Rundown to explain what he makes of the Hunter Biden plea deal and his belief that former President Trump was charged with obstruction fair and square. Later, he explains how he will distinguish himself from the wide GOP primary field, his big campaign ideas, and his plans to make sure President Biden loses in 2024.
