Critics question "sweetheart" deal for Hunter Biden amidst backlash and cover-up allegations.

Hunter Biden's plea deal on a felony gun charge and two tax violations has been criticized as a "sweetheart" deal by critics who note others have landed behind bars for similar crimes. The plea deal averts prosecution on a felony charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user, as well as a trial that could have lasted days or even weeks. Other Americans facing similar federal gun charges are facing months behind bars. Republicans have vehemently criticized the deal this week, accusing Biden of using his father's influence overseas during the Obama administration when Joe Biden was vice president.
