Hunter Biden Judge Dismisses Old Gun Charge
US District Judge Maryellen Noreika on Wednesday agreed to formally drop a gun charge against Hunter Biden after a new indictment replaced his collapsed plea deal.
Recall that Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal collapsed in July after Judge Maryellen Noreika realized Hunter’s lawyers were trying to pull a fast one on her.
Hunter was only charged with two misdemeanors related to tax fraud and would have avoided prison time on a felony gun charge.
Prosecutors went easy on Hunter and handled the gun charge as a “diversion case.”
The lawyers slipped Hunter’s blanket immunity in the pre-trial diversion agreement so the judge could not accept – or reject – the blanket immunity part of the deal.
