garland is defending the justice department's handling of the case against president biden's son, hunter. republican lawmakers say the proposed plea deal between federal prosecutors and hunter biden over tax and gun charges is a slap on the wrist compared to criminal charges against former president trump. garland said the u.s. attorney investigating hunter biden was appointed by trump. >> from the moment of my appointment as attorney general, i would leave this matter in the hands of the united states attorney who was appointed by the previous president and assigned to this matter by the previous administration. >> hunter biden is set to appear before a federal judge next month in connection with the plea deal that will likely keep him out of prison. and this morning the senate is considering a new ethics bill after allegations against justice samuel alito.
