After Wednesday morning’s announcement of Hunter Biden’s plea deal for his criminal investigation falling through, Andrea Mitchell discussed the issue on her on her eponymous MSNBC show. Along with guests MSNBC White House correspondent Mike Memoli and former attorney Paul Charlton, Mitchell fretted that the Hunter legal case would “be a significant complication for” President Biden’s bid for re-election in 2024.
First, Mitchell asked Memoli for his thoughts on the White House’s inability to “get the legal thing out of the way” in this case to clear the air a little bit for the President. She complained that, without an agreement on a plea deal to get this done and over with, “this thing is still gonna be hanging over their heads,” making the Biden 2024 campaign look a lot worse.
