A plea agreement between the Justice Department and Hunter Biden fell apart on Wednesday after the federal judge overseeing the case raised concerns over the terms, the AP and other news outlets reported on Wednesday.
Biden was to plead guilty to two tax violations in an agreement with prosecutors, a deal that stoked furor on the right as it tries to link the president’s son’s business dealings to Joe Biden himself.
The terms of the deal were revealed last month in a letter that U.S. Attorney David Weiss sent to the judge. Biden will plead guilty to two counts of failure to pay federal income tax. He also has agreed to enter a diversion agreement related to another charge, for felony possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of, or addicted to a controlled substance.
According to CNN, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika began questioning the agreement, but it raised a rift between prosecutors and Biden’s defense team on whether the deal foreclosed the possibility of additional charges. Prosecutors said that their investigation was ongoing and that Biden could face additional charges related to acting as an unregistered foreign lobbyist. Biden’s legal team said that the plea agreement meant that potential charges were foreclosed.
Both sides are continuing to meet, but the unexpected turn dominated the morning news cycle.
Earlier, a Fox News chyron read, “Hunter Biden Due In Court For ‘Sweetheart’ Plea Deal,” as cable networks trained their cameras on the federal courthouse in Wilmington, in expectation that Noreika would sign off on the agreement. But after an hour, word came from reporters in the courtroom that the deal was in doubt.
