Biden's attorney argued in court documents late Sunday that an agreement sparing him prosecution on a felony gun charge still is in place even though the plea agreement on misdemeanor tax offenses largely unraveled during a court appearance last month. The government said plea negotiations had broken down and filed to dismiss the tax charges against Hunter Biden in Delaware and indicated they could charge him instead in another court, like Washington D.C., or California. Hunter Biden's history of drug use and financial dealings have trailed his father’s political career and Republicans are pursuing their own congressional investigations into nearly every facet of Hunter Biden’s business dealings, including foreign payments.
