Hunter Biden is expected to plead not guilty Tuesday when he is arraigned on three gun charges that were originally part of a federal plea deal that fell apart in July.
President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden has formally entered a plea of not guilty to felony gun charges, setting up the possibility of a high-profile trial as his father embarks on a reelection bid in the coming year.
Appearing in the same federal courthouse in Delaware where his plea deal with prosecutors fell apart over the summer, the younger Biden indicated he would fight the three-count indictment brought last month by special counsel David Weiss — the same prosecutor who brokered the ill-fated agreement.
Special counsel David Weiss indicted President Joe Biden’s son last month after a yearslong investigation. That probe appeared on the cusp of completion in June, when Weiss’ office brokered a two-pronged plea agreement with Hunter Biden’s legal team.
