Hunter Biden, the second son of President Joe Biden, is expected to appear in a Delaware federal court Wednesday morning to accept a plea deal for two misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his taxes. The agreement, reached last month with U.S. Attorney David Weiss, includes an admission of felony gun possession, but the charges will be dropped if Biden fulfills the terms of the plea deal. Republicans have criticized the plea deal, arguing that Biden should face jail time, but it is expected that he will be able to avoid prison.
