Trial Likely In Hunter Biden Case, Prosecutors Say
Katelynn Richardson on August 11, 2023
The Department of Justice (DOJ) said Friday that a trial is likely in the Hunter Biden tax evasion case.
In a Friday motion, prosecutors said plea negotiations that continued after Hunter Biden’s deal fell apart during his July 26 hearing “are at an impasse.” Biden’s team had sought immunity for charges unrelated to allegations of tax evasion in a pretrial diversion agreement, prompting Judge Maryellen Noreika to intervene in the deal.
“The Government now believes that the case will not resolve short of a trial,” the court filing states.
Prosecutors filed the motion Friday to dismiss charges were filed in Delaware so the government could bring charges in a different district. The filing notes the venue for the charges “does not lie in Delaware” and would be either in the Central District of California or Washington, D.C.
“The information was filed in this District because the parties had previously agreed that the Defendant would waive any challenge to venue and plead guilty in this District,” the motion says.
