Hunter Biden risks 'further prosecutions if Trump returns to office,' according to a former attorney.
File photo of Hunter Biden in Washington, DC on April 18, 2022. The president's son faces"risks of further prosecutions if Trump returns to office," according to a former attorney.Under the initial deal, Hunter Biden was to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges, in exchange for which he would avoid prosecution for allegedly illegally possessing a firearm whilst a drug user.
Writing on the blogging platform Substack, Joyce Vance, formerly the attorney for the Northern District of Alabama between 2009 and 2017, argued Hunter Biden's legal team is right to fear additional prosecutions, particularly if Trump returns to the White House in January 2025. She wrote:"Hunter Biden, who seems to have become Donald Trump's favorite whipping boy, faces ongoing risks of further prosecutions if Trump returns to office. Trump is focused on revenge and retribution, and Hunter Biden seems to be at the center of his focus. Trump has made it clear he won't make the same 'mistakes' if he's re-elected that he did the first go round—permitting the Justice Department to conduct prosecutions free of interference from the Oval Office.
"Given Trump's public pronouncements about the 'Biden crime family,' there are good reasons for concern if you're Hunter Biden or his lawyers. So inserting a provision requiring sign off from the court as a guarantee against vindictive future prosecutions, makes sense.
