WATCH: dcexaminer's ByronYork said Republicans will view the federal charges against Hunter Biden as a 'slap on the wrist,' fueling the cry that there is a 'two-tiered' system of justice.
Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York said Republicans will view the federal charges against Hunter Biden as a"slap on the wrist," fueling the cry that there is a"two-tiered" system of justice.
"The question Republicans asked about the Justice Department investigation was, 'Wait a minute, five years for this? This has taken five years of investigation and we've ended up with a couple of misdemeanor counts about filing your tax returns late — which millions of Americans do?' Without any sort of foreign, strange dealings?" York said.
York compared Biden's plea deal and investigation to that of former President Donald Trump, who pleaded not guilty to 37 charges related to the retention of classified documents and has a court date scheduled for Aug. 14, and Hillary Clinton's email correspondence scandal.
