DOJ moves to drop Hunter Biden case in Delaware ahead of possible trial in different district

The Justice Department has submitted a filing Friday to dismiss the Hunter Biden plea deal case in Delaware.

On July 26, Hunter Biden's plea deal fell apart during his first court appearance and he pleaded "not guilty" as federal prosecutors confirmed the president's son is still under federal investigation.

Hunter Biden was expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax, as part of plea deal to avoid jail time on a felony gun charge.
