Attorney General Alan Wilson raises concern over Hunter Biden plea deal

(COLUMBIA, S.C.) – Attorney General Alan Wilson sent a letter to Biden's U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, raising concerns over Hunter Biden's plea deal and the unusual treatment leading to that agreement.

"It doesn't matter your last name, your position in life, or your political connections, no one is above the law. Hunter Biden should be no different," said Attorney General Alan Wilson. "The circumstances surrounding Hunter Biden's plea deal are suspect, and I'm glad the judge rejected the agreement at sentencing this morning. The American people deserve answers, and while these are federal charges, I'm going to do all I can to help find the truth and restore trust in the justice system."

The letter listed ten issues of concern in the Hunter Biden case:

• Equality under the law
• Tax violations
• Gun charge leniency
• Incomplete business dealings investigation
• Interference in investigation
• Avoidance of more serious charges
• Justice Department policy contradiction
• Unconventional legal procedure
• Nature and impact of the plea deal
• Comparison with average American

The letter states, "the recent plea agreement concerning Mr. Biden raises disconcerting questions. The optics suggest a potential deviation from this age-old principle, with the shadow of bias cast by his ties to the presidency. Such a scenario not only jeopardizes the trust that the American people place in our justice system but also risks setting a precedent where proximity to power could influence the course of justice. It is a narrative that runs counter to everything our nation stands for and should be approached with utmost scrutiny."

Attorney General Wilson joined Louisiana, Florida, Iowa, and Mississippi on the letter.
