According to a report from The Daily Wire, it appears Hunter Biden’s criminal case is headed for trial after his sweetheart plea deal fell apart at the 11th hour earlier this month.
“[D]uring the July 26, 2023, hearing that the Court set on this matter, the Defendant pled not guilty,” prosecutors for U.S. attorney, now special counsel, David Weiss said in a filing. “Since that time, the parties have engaged in further plea negotiations but are at an impasse. The Government now believes that the case will not resolve short of a trial.”
From The Daily Wire:
The news comes as U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland announcedon Friday that Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, was granted “special counsel” status this week.
“This appointment confirms my commitment to provide Mr. Weiss all the resources he requests,” Garland said. “It also reaffirms that Mr. Weiss has the authority he needs to conduct a thorough investigation and to continue to take the steps he deems appropriate independently based only on the facts and the law.”
