Former Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker recently weighed in on the ongoing legal issues surrounding Hunter Biden and former President Donald Trump. Speaking from Des Moines, Iowa, Whitaker expressed his doubts about the likelihood of Hunter Biden facing legal consequences for any potential contempt charges. He noted that while Merrick Garland's Department of Justice (DOJ) had prosecuted individuals like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for contempt of Congress, they did not do the same for others like Mark Meadows. Whitaker speculated that Garland would likely take a categorically non-interventionist stance on Hunter Biden's case, given the more significant charges the latter is facing.
Turning to Hunter Biden's recent legal troubles, Whitaker commented on the plea deal that fell apart. The former Attorney General criticized the decision to allow the statute of limitations to expire on the most substantial charges related to his income from Burisma. Whitaker stressed that Hunter Biden now faces six felonies, including gun and tax charges. However, he opined that these charges may not be the most pressing concerns for the President's son, considering the other legal issues he faces.
