A Trump-appointed federal judge in Delaware has suspended a plea deal between Hunter Biden and federal prosecutors. The president’s son had agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges as part of an agreement that would have allowed him to avoid prosecution on a separate gun charge. But on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika ruled the agreement lacked legal precedent, and questioned the broad scope of the immunity deal, which Biden’s lawyers say would have protected him against other charges. By the end of the day, Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to three tax and gun charges. We’ll have more on this story after headlines.
