Biden saddened and frustrated by collapse of Hunter’s plea deal: Report.

President Joe Biden was deeply‍ affected by ‌the collapse of a‌ plea deal ​between his son, Hunter Biden, and the Justice Department,‌ according to the New York Times.

Multiple sources close to the Biden family revealed ‍to‌ the⁢ Times that the breakdown of the deal has led to conversations between father and ⁤son that are now ⁤filled with a sense of resignation.

The plea deal fell apart ‌when the Justice Department and Hunter Biden’s ‍lawyers failed to ​reach an agreement‌ on its terms. The judge overseeing the case then rejected ​a revised ⁢deal that would have granted Biden extensive legal immunity. ​Special Counsel David Weiss has ​indicated that the Biden case may now proceed to ​a criminal trial.

The news of a potential trial left the president “stunned,” as reported by the Times.

Despite these challenges, the bond between Joe and Hunter Biden remains strong, described as “ironclad” ⁣by those ‌close to the‌ family. ⁣However,⁣ some confidants have criticized the ⁢president for being too deferential to his son, even in the face of Hunter’s troubled ⁤past‍ and questionable decisions.

While some allies have voiced concerns about the president’s⁣ involvement in Hunter’s⁣ business dealings, other Democrats are rallying around Joe Biden as more information emerges about his connections​ to his son’s ventures.

Even after whistleblowers testified that President Biden’s Justice Department obstructed the investigation into Hunter ⁢Biden, ⁤House Oversight Committee ranking member Jamie ​Raskin (D., Md.)‌ dismissed the Republican probe as an​ “overwhelming failure”​ and a ⁤”wild goose chase.”

Furthermore, ⁤Congressman Ro Khanna of California compared whistleblower​ Gary Shapley to a villain from Les Misérables simply because Shapley wants to uphold the law.

Special Counsel Weiss recently announced that ‌the government intends to seek⁢ a grand jury indictment of Hunter Biden before September 29.
