Republicans celebrated Wednesday after Hunter Biden’s plea deal fell apart during a dramatic courtroom moment, and lawmakers declared that “justice is coming” for the president’s son.
Biden had been expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax as part of plea deal to avoid jail time on a felony gun charge during a court appearance in Wilmington, Delaware.
But Judge Maryellen Noreika did not accept the plea agreement, questioning the constitutionality of the deal, specifically the diversion clause and the immunity Hunter Biden would receive.
Prosecutors also clashed with Biden’s lawyer about potential future charges as they confirmed he is still under federal investigation.
