Hunter Biden’s lawyers blamed by federal prosecutors for failed plea deal – By Josh Christenson (New York Post) / Aug 15, 2023
Federal prosecutors Tuesday blasted lawyers for Hunter Biden over their claims about the plea agreement that broke down last month — and reaffirmed their authority to withdraw the case, court filings show.
The office of Delaware US Attorney David Weiss said Hunter lawyer Chris Clark “inaccurately” claimed in a late Sunday filing that prosecutors had reneged on an agreement that would have granted the first son immunity from outstanding criminal probes.
The alleged reneging led Hunter and his lawyers to void the deal and have him plead not guilty at his July 26 hearing.
Hunter’s camp claimed it thought the deal granted him probation for a diversion agreement that included immunity for past crimes, but Special Assistant US Attorney Leo Wise scoffed at the notion.
