Hunter Biden tax charges dismissed by federal judge following plea deal breakdown
Biden's plea deal on a felony gun charge fell through during his first court appearance last month

Hunter Biden's misdemeanor tax charges have been dismissed by a federal judge in Delaware, an expected move after his "sweetheart" plea deal fell through last month during his first court appearance in the case.

The Justice Department submitted a filing last week to dismiss the case ahead of a possible trial on Biden's felony gun charge in a different district.

After the plea deal fell apart, Biden pleaded "not guilty" as federal prosecutors confirmed he is still under federal investigation. He was expected to plead guilty to the two misdemeanor tax counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax as part of the plea deal to avoid jail time on the felony gun charge.

Biden's attorneys and Special Counsel David Weiss are still fighting over a diversion agreement concerning the felony charge that would allow him to avoid any jail time. Weiss has indicated he plans to potentially take Biden to trial in the future in either Washington, D.C., or California.

On Tuesday, Weiss strongly rejected claims by Biden's legal team that his office "reneged" on the plea deal for President Biden's son to resolve the federal tax and gun charges, while stressing that agreement was "not in effect."

In a court filing, Weiss fired back at the Biden attorneys, which, over the weekend, filed a motion stating that "the parties have a valid and binding bilateral Diversion Agreement."

Delaware judge dismisses tax charges against Hunter Biden

By Josh Christenson
August 18, 2023

A federal judge in Delaware dismissed tax misdemeanor charges against first son Hunter Biden Thursday, a pro forma move weeks after a plea agreement between the Justice Department and Biden’s attorneys blew up, new filings show.

US District Judge Maryellen Noreika granted without prejudice a motion from the office of Delaware US Attorney — and newly elevated special counsel — David Weiss to withdraw their case against the 53-year-old first son after prosecutors said last Friday he would likely have to stand trial in either Washington, DC, or southern California.

Plea talks broke down between Hunter’s legal team and federal prosecutors following a July 26 hearing, during which Noreika pressed both parties about the scope of their agreement, including potential immunity for past crimes.

Under persistent questioning from Noreika, prosecutors said such charges could include alleged violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act — prompting Biden attorney Chris Clark to declare the deal “null and void.”
