weiss, the u.s. attorney from delaware appointed by trump to the position of special counsel, already investigating him for allegedly paying failing to pay more than $1 million in taxes and a federal gun charge for lying about his drug use on a background check form. last month hunters lawyers that they had struck a deal but it fell apart in court, and when the judge questioned it, both sides said they tried to keep negotiating but the justice department says the case is all but certain to head to a trial. what does this all mean for hudson by hunter biden, especially as his dad is running for reelection? bigger that means this investigation is far from over, it had been going on for five years, hunter biden was close to this plea deal until it fell apart under the scrutiny of the judge last month. she was not prepared to sign off on it. it seemed like everything was wrapping up with a special counsel appointment means that
