As late as Tuesday afternoon it seemed that Hunter Biden’s court appearance in a Delaware federal courtroom Wednesday morning to enter a “sweetheart” plea deal on tax and gun charges would go off without a hitch. Then controversy erupted Tuesday night when attorneys for House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Jason Smith alleged that a staffer at Latham & Watkins, one law firm representing Hunter Biden, called the courthouse saying she worked with the firm representing Smith and managed to get Smith’s filing removed from the docket. That resulted in a demand from the presiding judge for Biden’s attorneys to show cause as to why they should not face sanctions for that alleged action. Biden’s attorneys claimed it was a misunderstanding, not a misrepresentation, and we all waited to see if the judge would buy that explanation or not.
The hearing in Hunter Biden’s case began at 10 AM Wednesday morning, and after about 90 minutes it was clear that something might not be going well for Hunter. As we reported, the first news out of the courtroom was that the plea deal was not going to happen because there was a difference of opinion between the parties as to exactly what the deal covered and whether additional charges, potentially related to FARA violations, were covered in the agreement or not. Then we heard that a revised deal might be on.
It has now been learned that no plea deal was entered during the hearing on those charges, and that Biden pled not guilty to the charges. According to CNN, Judge Maryellen Noreika “said she could not accept the plea agreement as it was structured as it just had her as a rubber stamp.” The original deal was for Hunter Biden to plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors, receiving no jail time, and diversion on a felony gun charge. Apparently Hunter’s attorneys believed that the plea agreement would provide their client with blanket immunity on other criminal charges, but after prosecutors told the Court that some of the matters were still under investigation, Judge Noreika questioned whether it was appropriate to grant immunity for matters still under investigation.
