Hunter Biden tax charges dismissed by federal judge following plea deal breakdown

Hunter Biden’s misdemeanor tax charges have been dismissed by a federal judge in Delaware, an expected move after his “sweetheart” plea deal fell through last month during his first court appearance in the case.

Biden’s attorneys and Special Counsel David Weiss are still fighting over a diversion agreement concerning his felony gun charge that would allow him to avoid any jail time. Weiss has indicated he plans to potentially take Biden to trial in the future in either Washington, D.C. or California.
