On this week's Washington Week:
- Hunter Biden: After President Biden’s son, Hunter, agrees to a tentative plea deal on tax and gun charges, Republicans point to the agreement as proof of a two-tiered justice system and vow to further investigate the Biden family.
- Supreme Court Scrutiny: As the country awaits consequential Supreme Court decisions in the coming days, Justice Samuel Alito has reignited concerns over the Court’s ethics and transparency, after he accepted – but did not disclose – luxury trips including with a hedge fund manager who later had business before the Court.
- U.S.-China Tensions: President Biden defends calling Chinese President Xi Jinping a “dictator” at a fundraising event in California, but his comments threaten to undermine Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s delicate diplomacy during a recent trip to Beijing.
