Hunter Biden's plea deal on hold after judge challenges key parts of agreement

A plea agreement between federal prosecutors and Hunter Biden fell apart Wednesday after the judge refused to sign off on a deal that would have seen the president's son plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and enter a diversion program in lieu of pleading guilty to a felony gun possession count. After the deal collapsed, Biden pleaded not guilty. Catherine Herridge reports from Wilmington.

Lock up Hunter and disbar all his corrupt and dirty lawyers.😂😂

MSM - "Judge challenges key parts of agreement." Hunter's lawyer wanted life time immunity for any crimes Hunter committed in the past and any crime(s) he will perpetrate in the future. Yeh, any judge with an ounce of honesty would throw this B.S. plea deal out.

What does it matter who appointed the judge ? Delaware democrats unanimously approved her . Just the media, always trying to spin a story.

Investigators and attorneys agreed on throwing this guy in jail. Republicans call it a sweetheart deal?😂😂what the lleh would a democrat call it? Libs!

Why the need to hilight on more than one occasion who appointed the judge??
Isn't the law the law?? The Judge is there to make sure that Justice is served.
I doubt very much if the Judge had been appointed by his daddy then you would have gone to the same extremes to hilight do you condone people getting away from committing crimes??

The lynching of hunter dude caught a gun charge for being addicted NO CRIME Who knew addiction voids your 2nd amendment rights

The Department of Justice should investigate this so-called judge. This judge is clearly guilty of obstruction of justice in this case.

So he’s not getting charged for child trafficking?
