Judge says can’t accept Hunter Biden’s plea deal FMTNews FMTWorld
Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to charges of failing to pay taxes on more than US$1.5 million.
The stunning turnabout came after what was expected to be a routine plea hearing turned into a three-hour affair featuring hushed negotiations between lawyers and pointed questions from US district court judge Maryellen Noreika. He did not enter a plea in a separate case where he is charged with unlawfully owning a firearm while addicted to and using a controlled substance, a felony.
The parties ultimately agreed that the deal would only grant Biden immunity on a limited set of tax, drug and firearm offences.Republicans have for years accused Hunter Biden of leveraging his father’s political power for personal gain in his dealings in Ukraine and China, though the probe by U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware, a Trump appointee, has not turned up any evidence to support those claims.
