According to a Tuesday court filing by the United States Attorney for the District of Delaware, Hunter Biden will begin a probation deal on a previous accusation of unlawfully possessing a firearm and tax evasion in 2017 and 2018.

Biden's deal will likely close the years-long investigation against him, while also pushing House Republicans to expand their probes into Hunter and the Biden family.

Hunter's lawyer, Chris Clark, expressed his belief that the FBI investigation into Biden is complete. 

Next week, Hunter is scheduled to appear in federal court in Delaware to be arraigned and submit his guilty plea.

The son of the current US President was charged with owning a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018 while “knowing that he was an unlawful user of and addicted to a controlled substance," a charge that carries a maximum of 10 years in jail and a $250,000 fine. 

While addicted to crack cocaine in 2017 and 2018, Biden also failed to file and pay his taxes. His lawyer alleged to CNN that he "fully paid" his tax debts in 2022.

According to a White House spokesperson "The President and First Lady love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life."

Donald Trump called the justice system "broken" in a Truth Social post, expressing that the Justice Department barely gave Hunter a "traffic ticket" for his crimes.

Hunter is notorious for his involvement in numerous scandals, including substance abuse, commercial sex, infidelity, tax fraud, and, most likely, high-level corruption. 

E-mails recovered from Hunter's abandoned laptop show that he played a major role in the acquisition of millions of dollars in funding for Metabiota, a Department of Defense contractor specializing in research on pandemic-causing diseases that could be used as bioweapons.
