lobbying violation and prosecutors say, yes, they could, and that s the point where hunter biden s lawyers say if that s the case this deal is off. the prosecutors, the defense team came together, hashed it out, came back in and said, okay, look, we think we do have a deal. there is an agreement where prosecutors are not going to come after hunter biden for tax offenses over five years, for drug issues, for this firearm offense, and then again, the judge starts asking more questions about this deal and especially on this gun agreement, she begins to have concerns about the structure of it and whether it s legally sound and ultimately says i m not going to accept or reject this deal, but i m going to put it on hold. i m going to give both sides 30 days to respond and to give me more answers to some of my questions and concern, and ultimately hunter biden ends up pleading not guilty as a formality. what is the sense there, sara from both sides s there a feeling they re going to be able
beginning his plea to this tax misdemeanor charges and then the firearm offense. but it appeared it was on the brink of collapse over with the potential scope here and what other charges existed because the prosecutor said that this investigation was still ongoing. when asked if it could cover other charges, he said yes. after this break, they seem to be on the same page and unless something has happened in the time i have been out here, he s moving forward to pleading guilty to the charges, as we expected today. it was just this issue of the scope of this and it appears that the prosecution is saying very much that their investigation is ongoing and hunter biden is pleaing to and what the agreement covers are just tax charges, gun possession charges, and drug use charges. thank you so much for that important reporting. i want to bring evarth perez bak in.
