Prosecutors Indicate Unlikelihood of Hunter Biden Plea Deal, Suggest Trial is Imminent

Prosecutors: Plea Deal Unlikely, Hunter Biden's Case Headed to Trial

Prosecutors in the criminal case against Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, have stated in court documents that a plea deal is unlikely and the case is likely to go to trial. Hunter Biden had previously pleaded not guilty during a hearing in July 2023, and since then, the parties have been engaged in plea negotiations but have reached an impasse. The government now believes that the case will only be resolved through a trial.

Prosecutors have stated that a plea deal for Hunter Biden is unlikely and his case is likely to go to trial. This news comes after U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland granted "special counsel" status to Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump.
