The Department of Justice prosecutors say Hunter Biden is currently under investigation.
During his first Delaware court appearance, Hunter Biden’s plea deal fell apart.
The 53-year-old instead pleaded “not guilty” as federal prosecutors confirmed the president’s son is still under federal investigation.
Originally, President Joe Biden’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 after questioning the constitutionality—specifically the diversion clause and the immunity Hunter Biden would receive—Judge Maryellen Noreika did not accept the plea agreement.
As Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre answered questions about the court proceedings from the media during the daily briefing. #WhiteHouse #HunterBiden #pleadeal #JoeBiden #Bidenfamily
