Hunter Biden’s guilty plea on tax evasion charges disintegrated last month when a judge questioned the deal
The prosecution of Hunter Biden is “up to the Justice Department,” his father US President Joe Biden told reporters on Friday, breaking his silence regarding the special counsel probe into his son’s illegal activities.
“I have no comment on any investigation that’s going on,” he added.
Hunter Biden was expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay income taxes last month in a plea deal that would also have allowed him to avoid punishment for the charge of gun possession while an illegal drug user if he completed a pre-trial diversion program.
