BREAKING: Hunter Biden Pleads NOT GUILTY In Courtroom Shocker After Sweetheart Deal Falls Through
In a shocking twist of events, Hunter Biden has pleaded “not guilty” in a Delaware court today. This comes after a federal judge refused to rubber-stamp what was seen by many as a ‘sweetheart’ plea deal.
The news arrived amid reports that the proposed plea deal, after appearing null and void, was back on the table, but with a much more limited scope. But ultimately, Judge Maryellen Noreika rejected the deal, leading to Hunter’s not-guilty plea and sending shockwaves through the courtroom.
Both the prosecution and defense teams were told in no uncertain terms that the judge could neither accept nor deny Hunter Biden’s guilty plea due to the existing ambiguities in the case. This refusal effectively slammed the brakes on a plea deal that was thought to be back on track.
