President Biden's son was indicted by
special counsel David Weiss on Sept.
14.
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.
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.
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

DNC Chair Jamie Harrison is
confident that Democrats will handle the
issue and "land this plane on our own.".
Joe Biden will be on the ballot in Ohio and
all 50 states, and Ohio Republicans agree.
But when the time has come for action,
they have failed to act every time, so
Democrats will land this plane on our own, Jamie Harrison, DNC chair, via statement.
Through a virtual roll call, we will ensure that
Republicans can't chip away at our democracy
through incompetence or partisan tricks and
that Ohioans can exercise their right to vote
for the presidential candidate of their choice, Jamie Harrison, DNC chair, via statement.
Mike DeWine, Republican governor
of Ohio, chimed in as well.
While I understand the Democratic National
Committee has just today proposed a
work-around to help get President Biden
on the Ohio ballot, it is prudent legislation
be passed to get this done. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement.
As I previously said, we do not want to leave
something so basic as having the sitting
President of the United States on the ballot
to others when this can-and should-be done
legislatively. It's the right thing to do. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement.
For these reasons, it is important that
a bill or multiple bills that accomplish
these common-sense measures come
to my desk right away this week.
It's the right thing to do, Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement

Collaboration is exactly what itâs
about. It would be remiss in our
inferred fiduciary duty â see what
I just did there? â to the thing
that we created to abandon it, Gene Simmons, to AP.
People might misunderstand and think,
âOK, now Pophouse is doing that stuff
and weâre just in Beverly Hills twiddling
our thumbs.â No, thatâs not true. , Gene Simmons, to AP.
Weâre in the trenches with them.
We talk all the time. We share ideas.

I especially, with the band, weâll stay
committed to this. Itâs our baby, Gene Simmons, to AP

Biden Asserts Executive Privilege , Over Audio of Interview With Robert Hur.
In February, Hur's yearlong investigation
into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges.
In February, Hur's yearlong investigation
into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges.
House Republicans were provided a
transcript of Biden's interview with Hur, but they wanted the audio, which the DOJ denied.
As a result, House Republicans were
moving to hold Attorney General
Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.
On May 16, the Department of Justice told House Republicans that the president asserted executive privilege over audio from his interview with the special counsel.
The move protects Garland from criminal exposure as GOP lawmakers seek to hold him accountable.
Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte
explained the DOJ's actions in a letter.
The Attorney General must draw a line
that safeguards the Department from
improper political influence and protects
our principles, our law enforcement work,
and the people who carry out that work
independently, without fear or favor, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
The Committees seek to hold the
Attorney General in contempt
not for failing in his duties,
but for upholding them, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
With the information you now have,
the Committees ought not to proceed
with contempt and should instead avoid
unnecessary and unwarranted conflict, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .
White House Counsel Ed Siskel also wrote a letter supporting the assertion of executive privilege. .
The absence of a legitimate need
for the audio recordings lays bare
your likely goalâto chop them up,
distort them, and use them for
partisan political purposes, White House Counsel Ed Siskel, via letter
