A federal judge in Delaware dismissed tax misdemeanor charges against first son Hunter Biden on Thursday, a pro forma move weeks after a plea agreement between the Justice Department and Biden’s attorneys blew up, new filings show.
US District Judge Maryellen Noreika granted without prejudice a motion from the office of Delaware US Attorney — and newly elevated special counsel — David Weiss to withdraw its case against the 53-year-old first son after prosecutors said last Friday he would likely have to stand trial in either Washington, DC, or Southern California.
