Hunter has been charged with two counts pertaining to false statements when buying a firearm, which "carry sentences of up to 10 years and five years," according to ABC News.

He's also been charged with one count of "illegally obtaining a firearm while addicted to drugs," ABC News reports.

.

That charge can result in a prison sentence of 10 years.

Hunter struck a plea deal in June, which would have let him avoid felony charges, .

But it was thrown out in July by U.S. Judge Maryellen Noreika.

In August, Attorney General Merrick Garland gave Weiss more authority to bring charges against Hunter in any of America's districts.

.

Hunter's attorneys have accused Weiss of "reneging" on their deal.

.

Weiss' team claims that the deal is null and void because the probation officer didn't sign it.

More charges are likely to be brought by Weiss, ABC News reports.

.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer commented on the charges as the president faces an impeachment inquiry.

.

Today's charges are a very small start, but unless U.S. Attorney Weiss investigates everyone involved in the fraud schemes and influence peddling, it will be clear President Biden's DOJ is protecting Hunter Biden and the big guy, James Comer, House Oversight Committee Chairman, via statement
