Kevin McCarthy has a plan for Hunter Biden's plea deal
, Trump referred to him as one of nine candidates who shared his vision for"Making America Safe Again."
"This development reflects the Justice Department's continued institutional independence in following the evidence of actual crimes and enforcing the rule of law even in the face of constant criticism and heckling by my GOP colleagues who think that the system of justice should only follow their partisan wishes," Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement.
"Oversight Committee Republicans have advanced debunked conspiracy theories about President Biden and are now, again, wailing about the work of a Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney." McCarthy, when asked by reporters about Weiss overseeing the charges and his being appointed by Trump, responded by rhetorically asking if others in Hunter Biden's position who committed the same or similar crimes would receive"a difference in justice.
"That's just gonna get bigger and bigger [for Trump], of course, while the Hunter Biden thing, I think, will go away precisely because he's done the thing that most people do—which is to plead guilty and thereby get a lesser penalty than what otherwise happened."
