Former President Donald Trump lashed out at the news that Hunter Biden has reached a plea agreement with the Department of Justice which will likely keep him out of jail.
“Wow!” Trump wrote. “The corrupt Biden DOJ just cleared up hundreds of years of criminal liability by giving Hunter Biden a mere ‘traffic ticket.’ Our system is BROKEN!
Trump has predicted, in recent weeks, that the son of President Joe Biden would get “a very small charge”
“They’ll probably come up with a jaywalking charge on Hunter in the not too distant future, you know, a very small charge, so they can say well, ‘It’s fair,’” Trump told Roger Stone on WABC radio June 11. “But there’s a very unfair situation. We’re living in a very, very corrupt country.”
Meanwhile,Michael Cohen, former President Trump’s onetime personal lawyer and the key witness against him in his New York state indictment, was denied early release from his probation following his three-year prison term Friday.
It has been noted that he worked as Trump’s personal lawyer for more than a decade. Cohen ended up serving nearly two-thirds of his three-year prison sentence at home due to the coronavirus outbreak.
U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman in Manhattan said that Cohen has continued to lie in recent comments, citing comments he made in a book and on television in March when he said he hadn’t committed tax fraud, his charges were “all 100 percent inaccurate” and that he was “threatened” by prosecutors into pleading guilty.
Cohen is a regular on cable news problems, often giving his opinion on Trump.
