Hunter Biden Lawyers: Prosecutors Reneged on Plea Deal

Hunter Biden's attorneys criticized the justice department yesterday for changing quote, their decision on the fly. This is regarding a previous agreed plea deal. Federal prosecutors pulled out of a plea deal that would have resolved ongoing tax and gun charges against President Joe Biden's son. Hunter Biden. Last month, a judge rejected the plea deal along with the pre trial diversion program which both sides had agreed upon. Now, the judge has said the arrangement, excuse me, the arrangement offered too much immunity to Hunter Biden under the proposed agreement. Hunter Biden would have pleaded guilty to not paying $1.5 million in income taxes from 2017 and 2018 and entered an agreement for illegally owning a firearm while using drugs. The case may now be heading to trial after negotiations reached an impasse.
