Joe Biden is the 'big loser' in the collapse of Hunter's plea deal, some critics say
Fox News
Hunter Biden's "sweetheart deal" imploded in Wilmington federal court on Wednesday, leading critics to predict much rougher seas ahead for the first son and his father.
In court, Trump-appointed Judge Maryellen Noreika asked Delaware federal prosecutor Leo Wise whether an ongoing investigation into the defendant still continues. Wise answered in the affirmative, but declined to elaborate, leading Biden attorney Christopher Clark to later disagree with the prospect of a future FARA (Foreign Agent Registration Act) violation charge.

At that point, the plea deal fell apart, as both Wise and Clark made comments to that effect and Noreika questioned the constitutionality of the original agreement. Hunter Biden ultimately pled not guilty. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
