Hunter Biden’s foreign dealings have long been a bone of contention for conservatives, indicative of alleged corruption.
The revelation of the plea deal spurred an immediate backlash from former President Donald Trump, his campaign, and senior congressional Republicans.
Pro-Trump organization, Make America Great Again Inc’s spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, compared the agreement to a “sweetheart deal” that allows the Justice Department to “turn a blind eye” to corruption.
Trump likened the deal to a “mere traffic ticket”.
In an official statement, the White House expressed the love and support of President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden for their son, stating no further comments will be made as he strives to rebuild his life.
