Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, received intense scrutiny from former President Trump regarding his recent agreement. Trump vehemently denounced it as a deliberate endeavor to conceal the truth and disrupt the electoral proceedings. According to Trump, the Department of Justice (DOJ) appears to be granting Hunter Biden leniency, indicating that this matter will not pose a looming challenge for President Biden in the upcoming 2024 Presidential election. This closely mirrors the situation involving the alleged suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story by the DOJ and FBI in 2020.
In a statement shared on the Truth Social platform, Trump voiced his concerns about the Hunter and Joe Biden settlement, asserting that it is a major cover-up and a substantial scam aimed at interfering with the election. According to Trump, this kind of scheme is unprecedented in the country, a sentiment echoed by others, including Tucker Carlson, who likened Hunter Biden to the privileged “princeling” sons of Saddam Hussain. Trump further draws a comparison, portraying the settlement as equivalent to a minor traffic offense, insinuating that Joe Biden has been absolved of any misconduct and is now ready for the 2024 presidential election. Trump’s statement reads:
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!!!
Regarding his own legal situation, Trump potentially faces an extensive prison sentence of up to 400 years due to allegations of illegal possession of classified information at his Mar-a-Lago residence. These allegations are seen by Trump as part of an ongoing political witch hunt aimed at impeding his 2024 presidential campaign.
Critics from the conservative camp have denounced the plea agreement, pointing out a perceived double standard within the American justice system. They argue that the lenient treatment of Hunter Biden, the son of the current president, raises suspicions, as an average citizen would likely face jail time for similar offenses. They contend that there appears to be one set of rules for the president’s son and another for individuals considered political adversaries of the president.
