Hunter Biden’s plea deal falls apart in Delaware courtroom

Hunter Biden’s plea deal on two tax charges fell apart at the last minute in a Delaware courtroom. A federal judge hearing Hunter Biden’s case expressed concern over a related agreement on a more serious gun possession charge. It quickly became clear that prosecutors and defense lawyers had different understandings on the scope of future charges that could be brought against the president’s son. As a result, the original plea deal appears to have unraveled. Heading into the hearing, Republicans had argued that the younger Biden was getting a sweetheart deal.
