Weiss Abandons Hunter Plea Bargain: Government Wasn’t ‘Unfaithful’
Special counsel David Weiss has officially withdrawn the plea deal for Hunter Biden, rejecting the claims made by Biden’s attorneys that the deal was “valid and binding.” The plea deal was intended to address misdemeanor tax charges and potentially divert allegations of felony gun possession. However, the agreement was never approved by U.S. probation officer Margaret Bray and did not go into effect. The disagreement between prosecutors and Biden’s defense over the plea deal’s implications for future investigations and charges led to its withdrawal. This comes shortly after Weiss was granted special counsel investigative authority by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
