After a five-year Justice Department investigation, Hunter Biden reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors. On Tuesday, the President’s son pleaded guilty to two tax violations, as well as a felony charge for illegal possession of a firearm as a drug user. The plea deal is expected to allow Hunter Biden to avoid any prison time for the charges, leading many critics to argue that he received preferential treatment from investigators. Former South Carolina Congressman and Federal Prosecutor Trey Gowdy explains the charges and punishment Hunter Biden faces and discusses the politicization of the Justice Department. Later, he explains how the Hunter Biden charges could impact the ongoing investigation into the Biden family business dealings.
House members battled to impeach this week on the hill, as Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO-03) took the stand to force a snap vote to impeach President Joe Biden, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13) forced another vote to censure California Democrat Adam Schiff. Both of these votes present a challenge for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, as House rules allow for any member to hold these types of votes without the okay from respective parties. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram reports from Capitol Hill on the growing impatience from Republicans surrounding the capability of Democrats in power and explains how this could all affect the Halls of Congress.
