The federal prosecution alleges that Trump was bent on retaining his position of power through a scheme that sought to undermine a fundamental function of the U.S. federal government—the execution of the process for “collecting, counting and certifying the results of the presidential election."
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."
