A former FBI informant has pleaded guilty to lying about a phony bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, that became central to a Republican impeachment inquiry in Congress.

A former FBI informant accused of falsely claiming that President Joe Biden and his son Hunter accepted bribes has agreed to plead guilty to federal charges, according to court papers filed Thursday.

Trump’s attorneys said President Biden’s statement that his son had been “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted” also applies to the president-elect.

A federal judge formally dismissed the gun case against Hunter Biden on Tuesday after President Joe Biden issued a sweeping pardon for his son.

President Joe Biden granting his son Hunter a sweeping pardon, described as “full and unconditional,” that will keep the younger Biden away from prison time in both his gun crimes conviction and tax crimes guilty plea, was a major talking point in the political world from Capitol Hill to Beacon Hill. “It’s just not surprising,” said MassGOP Committeewoman Janet Fogarty....

Special counsel David Weiss’ office on Monday appeared to push back against President Joe Biden’s claim that its prosecutions of Hunter Biden were politically motivated, calling such allegations “baseless.”

President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he was pardoning his son Hunter Biden, who faced sentencing later this month in two federal cases.

GOP lawmakers began publicly fuming shortly after President Joe Biden announced that he was pardoning his son Hunter Biden.

Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Sunday night, a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.

A computer repairman at the center of a controversy over Hunter Biden’s laptop has lost his defamation case against news outlets, the president’s son and Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.

Hunter Biden’s sudden guilty plea Thursday to tax charges was preceded by vigorous objections from prosecutors when his lawyer said he was willing to give up a trial and enter what’s known as an Alford plea.

In a surprise move, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to federal tax charges on Thursday.

The president’s son was indicted in December on three felony and six misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his taxes over several years.

The details about Biden’s involvement with the Romanian businessman came in a filing from prosecutors urging the court to deny a request from Hunter Biden to omit some evidence.

Under an order signed by a judge on Friday, the president’s son could face up to 25 years in prison at sentencing set for Nov. 13, but as a first-time offender he is likely to get far less time or avoid prison entirely.
