GOP Conference chair RepStefanik said of Hunter Biden's plea deal that he had received special treatment because of his family ties.
House GOP Conference chair Rep. Elise Stefanik joined a chorus of Republicans outraged on Tuesday by news of President Joe Biden’s son Hunter reaching a plea deal with federal prosecutors, saying the younger Biden had received special treatment because of his family ties.
Hunter also faces a felony charge for possessing a firearm while illegally using or being addicted to drugs, but that charge is expected to be dropped after a probationary period, according to the court paperwork, filed by U.S. Attorney David Weiss. The House Oversight Committee, which is heading up the congressional probe into the Biden family, said in a statement Hunter’s plea deal would have “no impact” on the committee’s ongoing investigation as it continues to uncover what it describes as “growing evidence … the Bidens engaged in a pattern of corruption, influence peddling, and possibly bribery.”
