Washington, D.C. – Following the announcement of the Department of Justice and Hunter Biden’s plea deal regarding tax evasion and gun crimes,Rep. Gary Palmer (AL-06) issued the following statement:
“The Department of Justice continues to show just how politicized it has become with plea deals like the one Hunter Biden received. His crimes were serious, but he was given punishment reeking of political favoritism. All of this is happening while the Biden Administration pushes gun rules to make law-abiding veterans and other innocent civilians into felons overnight, while Hunter Biden knowingly broke the law to purchase a gun. Tax evasion and the illegal purchase of a gun are felonies with penalties that would not be waived for the average American. While Hunter Biden may have been given a plea deal version of a “Get Out of Jail Free” card, he still faces far more serious allegations. The House Committee on Oversight will continue to investigate the alleged bribery schemes using his father’s influence as Vice-President to make millions for the Biden family. Unlike the politicized Justice Department’s unserious investigation, the Oversight Committee will continue to follow the evidence and the evidence will speak for itself.”
