Conservatives blasted the plea deal that Hunter Biden made with federal prosecutors.

Conservatives blasted the “sweetheart plea deal” federal prosecutors have given to Hunter Biden, where he will plead guilty to two counts of “willful failure to pay federal income tax” and enter a “pretrial diversion program” for a firearm offense.
The deal indicates that Hunter Biden will not face prison time, as Breitbart News Senior Editor Joel Pollak noted.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy said this will not slow down investigations into the Biden family.
He said that the plea deal “actually should enhance our investigation, because the DOJ should not be able to withhold any information now saying that there’s a pending investigation.”
Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said a plea deal on tax charges for Hunter Biden, President Biden’s son, will not slow down House Republicans’ investigation into the Biden family’s business dealings.
“It continues to show the two-tier system in America,” McCarthy said of Hunter Biden’s plea deal. “If you are the president’s leading political opponent, the DOJ tries to literally put you in jail and give you prison time. But if you are the president’s son, you get a sweetheart deal.”
“Now, this does nothing to our investigation,” McCarthy told reporters Tuesday morning. “It actually should enhance our investigation, because the DOJ should not be able to withhold any information now saying that there’s a pending investigation. They should be able to provide [House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer] with any information that he requires.”

Later Tuesday, McCarthy suggested that the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) claims that the investigation is ongoing is merely an effort to withhold information from the House.
The investigations into the Biden family are ongoing.
