DOJ prosecutors said Hunter Biden is currently under investigation
Hunter Biden's plea deal fell apart during his first court appearance Wednesday morning and pleaded "not guilty" as federal prosecutors confirmed the president's son is still under federal investigation.
The president's son was expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax, as part of plea deal to avoid jail time on a felony gun charge.
But Judge Maryellen Noreika did not accept the plea agreement, questioning the constitutionality--specifically the diversion clause and the immunity Hunter Biden would receive.
The judge pressed federal prosecutors on the investigation and questioned whether there was the possibility for future charges, and asked prosecutors if Hunter Biden was currently under active investigation. Prosecutors said he was, but would not answer specifically what the president's son is under investigation for.
Prosecutors on Wednesday said Hunter Biden pleading guilty to the two misdemeanor tax offenses would not immunize him from future charges.
The judge asked whether a potential violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act was under consideration, but prosecutors were tight-lipped on the matter.
The judge put the court in recess and asked that federal prosecutors and Biden's legal team discuss the plea deal, telling the court that they did not appear to be in agreement on the terms.
Hunter Biden was also expected to enter into a pretrial diversion agreement regarding a separate felony charge of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.

I had a meeting with an IRS Agent last week on a very large tax problem for a client. I asked for the “Hunter Biden Treatment.”
It is a very sore subject with most IRS Agents.
Will Devon Archer live to testify on Monday?
Delaware—where integrity goes to die!!
I’ve only been in Delaware once—to visit a DuPont biologicals site.
That was probably the only worthwhile place to visit in the whole state!!!
It can’t be a personal loan? Documented, interest, maturity date?
He plead ‘not guilty’, so he’s obviously innocent... CNN, CBS, ABC & NBC report.
Sorry...you missed the intermediate step of a "nudge"
“Nudging” in public policy involves using behavioral, economic, and psychological insights to influence the behavior of policy targets in order to help achieve policy goals.
This approach to public policy was advocated by Thaler and Sunstein in their book Nudge in 2008.
Nudging is underpinned by a conception that individuals use mental shortcuts (heuristics) in day-to-day decision-making, shortcuts that do not always serve their long-term interests (for instance, in relation to eating and exercise patterns, road safety, or saving for the future).
Nudging does not involve seeking to persuade individuals about the merits of pursuing particular courses of action that will better serve their long-term welfare.
Rather, it involves altering the choice environment so that when people follow their instincts, using familiar mental shortcuts, the most prominent option available to the policy target will be one that is likely to promote their own welfare, and that of society more widely.
Nudging has come to be considered a core part of the policy toolkit in many countries but academic scholarship has also debated the ethical dimensions of nudging, and there is a flourishing research literature on the efficacy, public acceptability, merits, and limitations of this approach within public policy.
Yes, but those too are looked at carefully.
Hunter already tried to use this yo claim the foreign income was loans and not income.
Paul Manafort tried this same ploy and got caught.

I went home with a waitress as I always do,

dad, send lawyers guns and money and get me out of this,
this $hit has hit the fan
appropriate lyrics, dejavue
Judge Corn-Pop, is going to need protection from the U.S. Marshalls. These thugs at the DOJ and their NGO attack dogs will be making their displeasure known.
Who watches fox anymore?
On target run out the clock
Fox needs to hire Tucker back and put him on at 11...
LOL, yes it’s a recurrent theme, that Freepers aren’t supposed to watch Fox News.
I believe the Tank Driving Murderer was in Pennsylvania. But I almost agree with you on the rest, being a Delaware native. I don’t think the DuPonts have nearly as much pull as they did 20 - 30 years ago.
SHE needs to lose her license & NEVER get it back.
That was in PA, it’s an expensive private school now.
I used to work a little north of it.
DuPonts losing power, no MBNA, etc.
We still have LLCs and tax free shopping…
Like that will ever happen. Dad will pardon Hunter and Biden will be praised for being a caring parent. We live in wacky world.
Hunter Biden “identifies” as not guilty. So I guess it’s so, you bigots!!!
The “plea deal” was thrown together last month after the Biden Crime Family and their enabler Marxists feared the FBI 1023, the IRS whistleblowers, and Devin Archer would all make news in the coming weeks. It was a distraction.
This is all a ruse. The investigation has been going on for 5 years. Ain’t nothing going to happen to Hunter or any other Biden.
