Hunter Biden’s criminal case set for trial as plea deal abandoned by prosecutors.

The Trial⁣ Against Hunter Biden: A Major Development in the Criminal Case

The criminal case against President Joe Biden’s son Hunter⁢ Biden​ is taking a dramatic turn as plea ‌negotiations⁤ have fallen ​through, leading to an upcoming trial, according​ to prosecutors. U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who was appointed under​ President⁣ Donald Trump, stated in a filing that ​”The Government⁤ now believes that the case will ​not resolve short of a trial.”

This latest development comes after lawyers for Hunter ‍Biden ⁤were asked to provide his position ⁤on the request, with a deadline⁣ of August 11. However, the defendant requested more time, which was declined by the government.⁢ As a result, Hunter Biden’s position has still not been provided.

Previously, Hunter Biden had agreed to plead guilty to two counts of intentionally not‌ paying taxes, as announced by Mr.⁣ Weiss in June.⁢ The ‌plea deal also included a pretrial diversion agreement for a gun charge. However, during ‌a hearing in July, the⁣ parties disagreed on certain aspects, and Hunter Biden ultimately pleaded guilty.

During the hearing, it⁤ was revealed ​that Hunter Biden was set ⁣to receive extensive immunity under the deal.​ However, attorneys for the government ⁢and Hunter Biden were unable to provide precedent for⁢ such an agreement when ​questioned by U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika.

In a new⁢ filing, Mr. ⁣Weiss⁢ has asked Judge Noreika, another appointee of President Trump, to dismiss the case. However, if the request is granted, ⁢prosecutors have stated that they may bring the same ​charges ⁢or different ⁤ones in another‌ district.

Additionally, prosecutors have asked the judge to vacate her order for⁢ the parties⁢ to brief her on aspects of ‌the plea agreement, ‌as the case is no longer moving towards a guilty plea.

Appointment of Special ⁤Counsel and ⁤Whistleblower Allegations

In‍ a​ separate development,⁤ Attorney General Merrick Garland, appointed by President Joe ‍Biden, has appointed ⁤Mr. Weiss as special counsel. This appointment aims to provide Mr. Weiss ⁣with the necessary resources to continue the investigation into Hunter ⁢Biden.

Whistleblowers have alleged that ⁢Mr. Weiss ​disclosed during a meeting that he had attempted⁣ to bring charges ‍against‍ Hunter Biden in California and Washington, but⁣ prosecutors⁣ in those‍ states rejected the efforts. These allegations are‌ supported by documents, including internal IRS emails.

According to one ⁣of the whistleblowers, IRS agent Gary Shapley, Mr. Weiss stated during a 2022 meeting that he ⁢was not⁢ the ultimate authority on charging ‌decisions. He ⁢also allegedly mentioned that he had requested to be appointed as⁤ a⁣ special counsel, but the⁣ Department of Justice denied the request.

The trial against‌ Hunter Biden is a significant development in the ongoing criminal case, and it remains to⁢ be seen​ how it will unfold in the coming months.
