Jim Himes, a Democratic legislator from Connecticut, freely admits that Hunter Biden broke the law.
According to Rep. Himes, “And it is clear that he (Hunter) broke the law with respect to taxes and possibly the ownership of a handgun.”
He continued “He should be held accountable for that.”
Himes then sought to blame Republicans, changing his tone, and said “If he traded on his father’s influence, he should be held accountable for that. And I’m emphasizing this because you never, ever heard a Republican say the same thing about Donald Trump or his family.”
Look at what Fox News said:
In an interview on Friday, a Democratic lawmaker said that it is “clear” that Hunter Biden violated the law.
Republican lawmakers are criticized by Connecticut congressman Jim Himes, who also discusses the first son’s legal issues.
“Let me say something that you never heard a Republican member of Congress say in the four years of the Trump administration, which is that if Hunter Biden broke the law, he should be prosecuted,” stated Himes on MSNBC. “And it is clear that he broke the law with respect to taxes and possibly the ownership of a handgun. He should be held accountable for that.”
Himes criticizes Republicans for their inaction in the wake of Trump’s indictment, but he also acknowledges that there must be consequences if Hunter Biden exploited his father’s position to further illegal activity.
Even though Hunter Biden’s plea offer was turned down, the White House has no plans to pardon him.

The Washington Examiner claims:
On Thursday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre promptly addressed the notion of President Joe Biden pardoning his son with a succinct, one-word response.
“No,” she answered.
The presidential pardon power has few limitations, but the White House has insisted time and again that it does not interfere with the Justice Department’s operations.
Hunter Biden’s plea agreement, which sought to keep him out of jail for tax and gun claims, fell apart at the court hearing on Wednesday.
A failure put the president’s son in a difficult legal situation. He initially intended to admit guilt, but he instead entered a not guilty plea.
To probe the president’s suspected involvement in Hunter Biden’s business transactions, House Republicans are considering opening an impeachment investigation.
Any accusations that Joe and Jill Biden run a company together are categorically denied by the White House. The White House insists that there is no commercial arrangement between them, despite earlier claims that they never discussed it.
Hunter Biden-related concerns have received careful attention from the Biden administration.
“Hunter Biden is a private citizen, and this was a personal matter for him. As we have said, the president and the first lady, they love their son, and they support him as he continues to rebuild his life,” At the briefing on Wednesday, Jean-Pierre remarked. “This case was handled independently, as all of you know, by the Justice Department, under the leadership of a prosecutor appointed by the former president, President Trump.”
