Today, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to three federal charges, after a long investigation and legal battle.The Justice Department announced the pleading Tuesday in a court filing that President Joe Biden's son would plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of tax evasion and enter a diversion agreement on one felony count of being a drug user in possession of a firearm, according to multiple sources. The Department of Justice has been investigating the younger Biden on possible firearms and tax evasion charges, and House Republicans have been probing his overseas business dealings.

The 52-year-old attorney, investor, father of five, and Navy veteran who happens to be the son of the President of the United States, recently called for state and federal investigations into how his personal, private information from his now-infamous laptop was disseminated, according to CBS News. Biden also threatened a defamation lawsuit against former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

The “flurry of letters to the Delaware attorney general, the Department of Justice, the I.R.S. and attorneys for Fox News and Carlson,” CBS reports, “represent an aggressive new strategy for the president’s son, who is facing long-running federal criminal investigations, as well as new probes promised by congressional Republicans, according to a source familiar with Biden’s approach.” “This marks a new approach by Hunter Biden and his team,” the source told CBS News. “He is not going to sit quietly by as questionable characters continue to violate his rights and media organizations peddling in lies try to defame him.”

Trump Calls Charges a 'Traffic Ticket'

Former President Donald Trump complained the Hunter Biden plea deal was but a "mere 'traffic ticket'" on Tuesday. Hunter Biden, the youngest son of President Joe Biden, was charged Tuesday for not paying income tax and for illegal possession of a firearm, The Washington Post reported. Biden reportedly made a plea deal with the feds, and though the deal needs to go before a federal judge, it's expected that he'll avoid prison. The Hunter Biden plea deal would instead see a sentence of probation for the misdemeanor tax charges, and a diversion program, anonymous sources told the Post. Assuming Biden completes the diversion program, the gun charge—a felony—would be taken off his record, the sources told the paper.

Trump responded to the report on his social media platform Truth Social, alleging corruption in the Joe Biden administration. "Wow! The corrupt Biden DOJ just cleared up hundreds of years of criminal liability by giving Hunter Biden a mere 'traffic ticket.' Our system is BROKEN!" Trump wrote.

Trump called for a new election because of Hunter

Last August, President Donald Trump on Monday called for a redo of the 2020 election in an angry rant on his app Truth Social. Trump stated that he should be declared the winner of the contest that he lost in a landslide to President Joe Biden, saying, "So now it comes out, conclusively, that the FBI BURIED THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY BEFORE THE ELECTION knowing that, if they didn’t, 'Trump would have easily won the 2020 Presidential Election.' This is massive FRAUD & ELECTION INTERFERENCE at a level never seen before in our Country. REMEDY: Declare the rightful winner or, and this would be the minimal solution, declare the 2020 Election irreparably compromised and have a new Election, immediately!"

Trump's outrage stemmed from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's revelation to podcaster Joe Rogan that month that the Federal Bureau of Investigation warned Zuckerberg that articles relating to Hunter Biden's laptop were pieces of Russian propaganda. Facebook then suppressed posts about the president's son and his computer.

In April, Hunter Biden's legal team fired shots Monday at two of his chief Republican antagonists. Biden attorney Abbe Lowell sent letters asking the Treasury Department's inspector general to investigate how former Donald Trump loyalists obtained reports of Biden's alleged "suspicious activity" and seeking a congressional ethics review of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's public attacks against President Joe Biden's family, reported Politico's Playbook.

"We write to request the Office of Congressional Ethics initiate a review of and take appropriate action as a result of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA 14th C.D.) suspected violations of House Ethics rules and standards of official conduct," Lowell wrote. "Representative Greene’s unethical conduct arises from her continuous verbal attacks, defamatory statements, publication of personal photos and data, and promotion of conspiracy theories about and against Robert Hunter Biden. None of these could possibly be deemed to be part of any legitimate legislative activity, as is clear from both the content of her statements and actions, and the forums she uses to spew her often unhinged rhetoric."
