Senate Republicans argued on Tuesday that Hunter Biden reaching a deal to plead guilty to three federal charges related to tax crimes and the purchase of a handgun proves that there is a 'two-tiered' system of justice that targets their side of the aisle.
Senate Republicans argued on Tuesday that Hunter Biden reaching a deal to plead guilty to three federal charges related to tax crimes and the purchase of a handgun proves that there is a"two-tiered" system of justice that targets their side of the aisle.
A number of early reactions from GOP senators noted the differences in how the DOJ dealt with the younger Biden and former President Donald Trump, who was indicted earlier this month in special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into the mishandling of classified documents after leaving office. Nearly all of the lawmakers referred to the Biden deal as a"slap on the wrist."
"Any other American would have the book thrown at them," Vance wrote on Twitter."The president's son gets a slap on the wrist. This is exhibit 1,402 for why I'm holding Biden's DOJ nominees. We have a two-tiered justice system in our country. It's a disgrace."
