President Donald Trump blasted the DOJ’s plea deal for Hunter Biden, calling it a “massive coverup” and election interference.
In a statement on Truth Social, Trump wrote:
“The Hunter/Joe Biden settlement is a massive COVERUP & FULL SCALE ELECTION INTERFERENCE ‘SCAM’ THE LIKES OF WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN IN OUR COUNTRY BEFORE. A ‘TRAFFIC TICKET,’ & JOE IS ALL CLEANED UP & READY TO GO INTO THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION – AND THIS AS CROOKED DOJ, STATE, & CITY PROSECUTORS, MARXISTS & COMMUNISTS ALL, HIT ME FROM ALL SIDES & ANGELS WITH BULL….! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
Hunter Biden will plead guilty to willful failure to pay federal income tax, most likely from foreign earnings, and will enter a “pretrial diversion program” regarding his gun crime, suggesting he will not face any jail time.
In contrast, Trump is facing 400 years in prison for allegedly handling classified information at his home in Mar-a-Lago.
Meanwhile, conservatives slammed the plea deal as evidence of two tiers of justice in America.
Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., said the deal “reeks of favoritism and brazenly reveals a system where there are two tiers of Justice.”
“If you are a Republican, Biden’s DOJ will throw the book at you and try to put you in prison for 100 years, but if you happen to have the right last name like Hunter, they will protect you and treat you with kid gloves,” he added.
President of the watchdog group Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton, tweeted that the “sweetheart plea deal” is “an ‘in-your-face’ show of contempt for the rule of law,” adding that it “Avoids prosecutions tied to foreign bribery and Joe.”
