'Devastating' Hunter Biden indictment is vindication of whistleblowers, says former Whitewater counsel

Sol Wisenberg reacts to the latest indictment against Hunter Biden, declaring the charges vindicate the whistleblowers who spoke out earlier this year.

SOL WISENBERG:This indictment, which is a devastating speaking indictment, really is a complete vindication of the whistleblowers. There's no reason this indictment couldn't have been brought a year ago or two years ago. Remember, the whistleblowers had to fight to get this investigation continued and ultimately lost. And if it hadn't been for [Judge Maryellen Noreika] in that federal Delaware courtroom, that hinky plea deal would have gone down. She did her job and stopped this from happening. And it's really, from a criminal defense perspective, from a white-collar crime perspective, I would really say the defense attorneys for Hunter Biden got too greedy in what they wanted from that plea deal. And that's why it blew up. It was a big mistake in how they handled this case. Madeline Coggins is a Digital Production Assistant on the Fox News flash team with Fox News Digital.
