Hunter Biden, the 53-year-old son of President Biden, was charged Tuesday with illegally possessing a handgun in 2018 and failure to timely file and pay taxes in 2017 and 2018, according to a court filing by the U.S. Attorney in Delaware.

Hunter has agreed to plead guilty to the two tax misdemeanors. He will also enter a probation agreement on the gun charge that, if violated, would mean prosecution for illegally possessing the firearm while being a drug user.

The gun charge is a Pretrial Diversion Agreement which means Hunterwill not technically be pleading guilty to that crime. Diversion is an option typically applied to nonviolent offenders with substance abuse problems.

Pretty standard stuff... which will not please a cult that wants to see Hunter waterboarded in Gitmo.
