>> Reporter: MARGARET TELLS ME SHE IS REALLY HAPPY BECAUSE THIS VISIT HAS PUT MARIN COUNTY IN THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT. >> THANKS, JOSE. BIDEN'S TRIP TO THE BAY AREA COMES AS HIS SON HUNTER PLANS TO PLEAD GUILTY TO CHARGES FOLLOWING A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION INTO HIS BUSINESS DEALING. THE PRESIDENT WAS ASKED ABOUT HUNTER AT A ROUNDTABLE EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON. >> I AM VERY PROUD OF MY SON. >> Reporter: HERE ARE THE DETAILS. HUNTER BIDEN WILL PLEAD GUILTY TO FEDERAL MISDEMEANORS AND BE PUT INTO A DIVERSION AGREEMENT FOR POSSESSION OF A HANDGUN BY A DRUG USER, WHICH IS A FELONY. SOURCES TELL CBS NEWS THAT PROBATION WILL BE RECOMMENDED AND NO FINES. A JUDGE NEEDS TO ACCEPT THE PLEA DEAL, BUT RIGHT NOW HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE NOT ACCEPTING HOW THIS PLAYED OUT. SPEAKER KEVIN McCARTHY SAID THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SHOWED BIAS, LIKENING THE CASE TO FORM A PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS LEGAL TROUBLES. >> IF YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT'S LEADING POLITICAL OPPONENT, THE DOJ TRIES TO LITERALLY PUT YOU IN JAIL AND GIVE YOU PRESENT TIME. IF YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT'S SON, YOU GET A SWEETHEART DEAL. >> HOUSE REPUBLICANS SAY THEY WILL CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THE BUSINESS DEALINGS AS PART OF A LARGER INVESTIGATION INTO PRESIDENT BIDEN. >>> JOINING US NOW IS THE CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT WHO IS IN TOWN COVERING THE VISIT FOR US. A LOT OF NEWS TO TALK ABOUT TODAY. LET'S START WITH THE REACTION TO THE HUNTER BIDEN PLEA DEAL. IS THIS THE END OF HIS TROUBLES, OR ARE THERE MORE INVESTIGATIONS? >> ELIZABETH, RYAN, IT IS SO GREAT TO BE WITH YOU IN PERSON. IT IS NOT THE END OF HIS TROUBLES. THE U.S. ATTORNEY INVESTIGATING PUT OUT A STATEMENT SAYING THE INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING. WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS. HUNTER BIDEN'S LAWYER SAYS HE IS NOT EXPECTING MORE CHARGES, BUT WE DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE. REPUBLICANS ON CAPITOL HILL WILL CONTINUE THEIR INVESTIGATIONS THEY ARE LOOKING INTO . THEY ARE LOOKING AT HIS LAPTOP, HIS OVERSEAS BUSINESS DEALINGS. THEY ARE VERY UP IN ARMS ABOUT THE WAY THIS PLEA DEAL SHOOK OUT AND THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP THE FOCUS ON HIM. AS FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN, HE IS TRYING TO SAY AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. SIX WORDS HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO. I AM VERY PROUD OF MY SON, AND THAT'S IT. HE DOES NOT WANT TO GIVE THE SITUATION ANY MORE OXYGEN THAN HE ALREADY HAS. >> NO QUESTION THAT HUNTER BIDEN HAS BEEN A LIGHTNING ROD FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT AND GOP. HOW WILL THIS IMPACT THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN? >> IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN RIGHT NOW IS NOT ALL THAT DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE KNEW BACK IN 2020 WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS RUNNING FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WON. UNTIL AND UNLESS
