A hearing over Hunter Biden’s plea agreement with prosecutors regarding his tax charges and a firearm violation ended on Wednesday without a resolution, after a judge refused to sign off on the terms of the deal.
US District Judge Maryellen Noreika expressed concerns over the structure of the deal, which had provisions for tax charges and a weapons charge, as well as the time frame of the agreement and what charges won’t be prosecuted.
