Former U.S. attorney Brett Tolman has shed light on the maximum sentence that Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, could face if convicted of the nine charges brought against him in a federal tax evasion case. While Tolman suggests that the maximum sentence could be 17 years, it is important to note that these charges would be considered misdemeanors, meaning the maximum sentence would actually be five years. This revelation comes as the special counsel investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings intensifies against the backdrop of the upcoming 2024 election.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed the media’s concerns about a potential pardon for Hunter Biden during a press conference on Friday. She firmly stated that President Biden will not pardon his son’s charges, emphasizing that “nothing has changed” in this regard. Jean-Pierre reiterated the president’s previous statements, highlighting his love and support for his son as he works to rebuild his life. She refrained from commenting further on the matter and directed any inquiries to the Department of Justice or the White House counsel.
In a separate development, Hunter Biden was indicted on nine charges in California, adding to the legal troubles he already faces. These charges consist of three felonies and six misdemeanors, and they are in addition to federal firearms charges in Delaware relating to alleged violations of laws prohibiting drug users from possessing guns in 2018. If convicted, the 53-year-old could potentially face a maximum sentence of 17 years in prison.
The intensifying investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings and the subsequent legal repercussions have gained significant attention, particularly in relation to the 2024 election. As the case unfolds, updates on the campaign trail and exclusive interviews will provide further insight into the impact of these developments on the political landscape.
