Washington special counsel David Weiss appeared to be willing to end the Hunter Biden probe earlier this year without charges for the presidents son but seems to have changed his mind around the time two IRS whistleblowers accused the Justice Department of stonewalling the case and giving Hunter Biden special treatment . An agreement was drafted in May and the two sides haggled over language though emails from prosecutors included a disclaimer that they had not discussed or obtained approval from their supervisors . Weiss concluded by late that he did not have sufficient grounds to charge Hunter Biden with felony tax crimes . So one of Weiss top deputies proposed to Hunter Bidens team that they revolve the investigation with a single diversion agreement where he promised to pay his back taxes and never buy a gun again . The presidents son agreed to the new harsher terms and a twopronged deal was negotiated a guilty plea for the two tax crimes and a diversion agreement . Those deals were presented to Judge Maryellen Noreika at a hearing in July but she wasnt ready to accept the deals as written . She ordered both sides to provide her with more information for why the deals were constitutional but the parties later reached an impasse the deals collapsed and Weiss requested special counsel status . The investigation is ongoing and Weiss has signaled that he might pursue more serious felony charges . It will likely be up to the judge to decide whether the deal is still valid and binding because it was signed. It will probably be up for the Judge Mary Ellen Noreik . The deals are still to be decided by the Judge Noreike. It is likely to be a trial is still to decide. The deal is not necessarily agreed to a trial. It would likely be between Hunter Biden’s lawyers have said a trial was still valid .
