Hunter Biden has reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors on charges relating to tax crimes and the illegal possession of a firearm. 
 Hunter Biden will plead guilty to two charges regarding his failure to pay about $1.2 million in taxes in 2017 and 2018. In exchange, prosecutors will reportedly ask that he receive two years probation with no jail time. Biden will also admit to the illegal purchase of a firearm in 2018, and enter a diversion program typical of drug abusers. The felony gun charge will be wiped from his record if he successfully completes the program. The White House issued a short statement in response, saying: “The President and First Lady love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life.” Critics accused the Justice Department of violating its own internal policies. George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley weighed in on Hunter’s plea deal on Fox this morning:

Several tornadoes touched down across Mississippi overnight Monday leaving at least one person dead and many others injured. According to officials, emergency workers were still in the process of assessing damage from earlier storms. The death and nearly two dozen injuries that were reported happened in eastern Mississippi’s Jasper County. The small, rural town of Louin was one of the hardest hit. Drone footage and photos showed wide expanses of debris-covered terrain, decimated homes, and mangled trees.
<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/06/20/lawmakers-propose-blue-ribbon-ai-commission/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Federal Commission On AI?</a>
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are considering the creation of a federal commission to develop a strategy for regulating artificial intelligence. Democrat Congressman Ted Lieu of California and Republican Congressman Ken Buck of Colorado introduced the bill on Tuesday that would require Congress and the White House to create the 20-person regulatory commission. According to The Washington Post, the body would be made up of individuals across government, industry, civil society, and the computer science field. The legislation comes after top tech gurus, including Elon Musk, have called for government regulation of AI.
