The younger Biden has agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor offenses related to his filing of federal income taxes. Federal authorities also charged him with a felony firearm offense, for which he agreed to enter a pretrial diversion agreement that allows him to avoid prosecution.
According to David Weiss, the Delaware U.S. attorney, Biden did not pay federal income taxes for either 2017 or 2018, despite owing more than $100,000 in taxes each year.
Additionally, in October 2018 Biden possessed a firearm despite knowing he was an unlawful user of and addicted to a controlled substance, Weiss' office said.
This investigation has been going on for years and has concluded in a plea deal.
What I'm having a hard time understanding is why this relatively minor tax issues and gun related case took years to conclude. Yet in just a bit over one year of investigation, a former president is indicted and is going to stand trial in August.
How can the relatively minor case take years to conclude and the other one be so speedy?
