Hunter Biden’s rejected plea deal puts Justice Department in hot seat

President Biden’s Justice Department is facing heat over developments that transpired during Hunter Biden’s first court appearance on Wednesday. 

Hunter Biden’s plea deal fell apart, and he pleaded “not guilty” as federal prosecutors confirmed he’s still under federal investigation. The president’s son was expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax as part of the plea deal to avoid jail time on a felony gun charge.

Critics have since set their sights on the Justice Department following the development. Mike Howell, director of the Oversight Project at the Heritage Foundation, said that “something is rotten in the state of Delaware, and the judge sniffed it out today.”
