Hunter Biden reportedly pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and will receive probation and pay the taxes he owes. He will also enter a diversion program over charges related to lying on a federal form when applying for a gun license.
On his Twitter show, Carlson stated, "As in most of the developing world, it's safer to be the president's son than his opponent." He added, "This morning Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to pretty much nothing. Biden pled to two misdemeanor tax evasion charges then entered a diversion on a federal gun charge. That's it. As far as Merrick Garland's Justice Department is concerned Hunter Biden is done."

Carlson criticized the Justice Department for not carrying out a perp walk or a press conference and for not charging Hunter Biden with a felony. He also accused the Justice Department of giving Hunter Biden special treatment because he is the son of the President. Carlson sarcastically referred to the plea deal as a "secular miracle."

Hunter Biden is expected to appear in federal court in the coming days over the plea deal. Carlson left Fox News in April and began publishing his version of his show on Twitter. He has received tens of millions of views, while Fox News has struggled to fill his time slot and has suffered in ratings without him. Carlson has also accused Fox News of fraud and breach of contract over the circumstances surrounding his exit from the cable news network.
