these hearings when they re set up to attack donald trump. at the end of the day, hunter biden should be held accountable. he s a private citizen, separate from the white house. focusing on very important questions, congressman, house speaker kevin mccarthy raised the idea that undergoing impeachment inquiry would allow congress more of a broad scope to ask, again, important questions. what do you make of the speaker leaving the door open for a potential impeachment inquiry of president biden? i mean, look, that s just crazy. i think at the end of the day, mcckevin mccarthy is working fo donald trump and wants to do whatever he can to politicize this and help donald trump win another election. he s almost said as much. and certainly members of his party have said the same. president biden is doing a phenomenal job of leading this country. and is known as an ethical strong president. this idea that we would impeach
potential gun crimes he committed from 2014 through 2019. a gun charge is where the things went off the rails a bit, when the judge asked about the relationship, whether the two things were connected, whether the tax counts were connected to this diversion program under which hunter biten agrees to abide by any stipulation from the court. as part of that, this possession of a gun charge goes away. it is a felony, so it is a serious charge. hunter biden bought a firearm at a time he was not qualified to own one, because he was addicted to drugs. that was part of the issue today. you pointed out, part of the issue now is that the government says this is still an ongoing investigation, so there are certainly things that perhaps hunter biden could perhaps by charged with that are not covered by this investigation. potentially acting as a foreign agency for other
exactly what he s pleading to and what exactly are the terms of the deal. there could be change in the administration. and it s not really clear. this investigation was under both of trump administration and the biden administration. there s a lot of politicalization around it, so she s wanting to make sure that everything lines up and hunter biden knows exactly what he s pleading guilty to. i m also curious, there was speculation whether he would hear directly from hupper biden early in the day, when we thought it was going to a boilerplate agreement, essentially put a stamp on it and move forward. what was his disposition like in court? i mean, he kept very
they re addressing all the issues, and to deal with any of the legal constitutional issues at hand. it sounds like it would be a couple weeks at least before anything will be back before the judge. let s take a step back, kara, and walk through the issues that the judge had earlier in the day with the plea deal. she brought up a question to prosecutors and the defense team as to whether there was agreement about the scope of potential future cases coming up against hunter biden, raising the possibility he may be charged with acting on behalf of a foreign government without registering. that s kind of where things started to unravel the first time, right? she thought it was broadly
defense team. they had something laid out, an agreement on they two federal charges for tax evasion and the gun charge, and then essentially there was a dispute over the agreement. they then went into recess, came up with a new agreement, but the judge ultimately decided it was invalid, it wasn t up to her standard. reporter: right. i think at issue for the judge she s trying to protection hunter biden s rights that whatever he thinking he is agreeing to is indeed what the government is agreeing to. as a result of the judge s questions, the prosecution admitted that there were some aspects of this that are not covered. there are some aspects of this investigation. remember, boris, this is a five-year investigation, an investigation that has spanned three u.s. attorneys general all the way back to 2018. we have a trump-appointed u.s.
