YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn Wednesday, a federal judge in Delaware halted a plea deal reached between Hunter Biden and federal prosecutors in which the president's son would avoid facing prosecution on a separate gun charge by pleading guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges. Trump-appointed Judge Maryellen Noreika said the deal lacked legal precedent, and identified several sections of the agreement that were interpreted differently by the prosecution and defense. A new plea deal could be reached within the next six weeks. This comes as Republicans have been intensifying their attacks on the Biden family in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election. "They're very much trying to move beyond Hunter Biden, which they understand they've beaten that issue to death, and trying to move to Joe Biden," says Ryan Grim, Washington bureau chief for The Intercept.
