The plea deal consisted of a "plea agreement" and a "diversion agreement" that would have protected Hunter Biden from foreign lobbying crimes and other felonies.
Donald Trump is ridiculing Special Counsel Jack Smith and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland after charging the former president with three more charges in the investigation into classified documents.
Hunter Biden allegedly violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) for not registering himself as having lobbied for foreign companies, although other individuals disclosed their lobbying under FARA.
"If I weren't winning in the polls, they wouldn't be doing it," Trump said in a video, referring to the investigation against him. "If I weren't running, they definitely wouldn't be doing it."
Hunter's sweetheart deal included immunity for "all of the allegations of conduct that are still being investigated," according to a Heritage Foundation lawyer.
