The DOJ and Hunter appear to have come to an agreement whereby, in exchange for Hunter’s guilty pleas to the two tax misdemeanor charges that were the focus of his plea, the government would agree not to prosecute Hunter for illegally possessing a firearm, violations of the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), and other offenses connected to his international business schemes in China and Ukraine with Bohai and Burisma, among other things. In a typical circumstance, this would have taken the form of a Rule 11(c)(1)(A) plea, making it subject to judicial approval.
