(LifeSiteNews) — Hunter Biden’s “sweetheart” plea deal that would have allowed him to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges in exchange for avoiding prosecution for a felony gun charge apparently fell apart Wednesday after federal prosecutors confirmed the president’s son is still the subject of an active investigation.
CBS reports that Trump-appointed district Judge Maryellen Noreika refused to sign off on a plea agreement that would have allowed U.S. President Joe Biden’s scandal-ridden son to enter a “diversion” program to avoid prosecution for a felony gun charge that carries a maximum sentence of ten years behind bars.
If the deal were to be successful, Hunter, the subject of a years-long investigation, would presumably complete two years of probation for the gun-related felony and avoid prison time altogether. Following the completion of his probation, he could see the gun charge removed from his record entirely.
