Hunter Biden has reached a plea deal to resolve a 5-year federal investigation into tax issues and a felony gun charge.
In 2018, the wife of Hunter Biden’s late brother Beau allegedly found Hunter’s .38-caliber Colt revolver in his truck, disposed of it in a trash receptacle behind a Delaware grocery store and later returned to retrieve it, only to find it missing, according to a police report. Hunter Biden was in a romantic relationship with her at the time.
Some of Hunter Biden’s legal woes stemmed from evidence that emerged as the investigation into the gun incident progressed: He responded “no” to a question on the background-check questionnaire that asks, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” Five years earlier, he had been discharged from the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine.
While the gun episode and the tax issues have drawn the most attention from prosecutors, Republicans have been focused for years on other aspects of Hunter Biden’s activities, including his business dealings in Ukraine and evidence on a laptop he allegedly abandoned at a Delaware repair shop.
