House GOP Probes Justice Department Over Bungled Plea Deal With Hunter Biden
House Republicans launched an investigation Monday into how the Justice Department bungled a plea deal with Hunter Biden so badly that a judge sent them back for a mulligan.
The committees conducting the probe said several parts of the agreement were “atypical,” to the point where the federal prosecutor who led the defense had to admit under questioning that there was no precedent for this kind of arrangement.
Among the aberrations were one provision that ruled out future prosecutions on other crimes beyond the scope of the current case, and another provision that limited the government’s ability to prosecute Mr. Biden should he violate the terms of the deal.
The committee chairmen, in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, demanded to know how the bizarre arrangement was reached and whether it was the Justice Department or Mr. Biden‘s lawyers that first suggested the unusual arrangement.
“The Department’s unusual plea and pretrial diversion agreements with Mr. Biden raise serious concerns — especially when combined with recent whistleblower allegations — that the Department has provided preferential treatment toward President Biden‘s son in the course of its investigation and proposed resolution of his alleged criminal conduct,” wrote Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith and Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer.
