The president’s son pleaded not guilty in a Delaware federal court Wednesday to two misdemeanor tax charges.
Biden was expected to plead guilty to charges of failing to file taxes in 2017 and 2018 and agree to enter a diversion program for a separate charge of purchasing a gun while using drugs in 2018.
But the plea agreement unraveled in court Wednesday when prosecutors indicated the investigation was ongoing and Biden could face additional charges, including a potential violation of the foreign agents registration act, CNN reported.
