"Chris Christie Condemns Hunter Biden's Plea Deal as Deceptive or Inept"

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie expressed doubts about the five-year criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, calling it either a lie or incompetent. Christie criticized the length of time it took to reach a plea deal on two counts of tax evasion and the possible dismissal of a gun charge. He accused the Democrats of hypocrisy for not enforcing existing gun laws and questioned the competence of U.S. Attorney David Weiss and Attorney General Merrick Garland. Christie, a former U.S. attorney himself, claimed he is the only candidate who can fix the Department of Justice. Congressional Republicans and 2024 GOP hopefuls have been attacking the DOJ over alleged double standards in investigating Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
