Hunter Biden's Lawyers Threaten to Put President on Stand as Plea Deal Collapses
Hunter Biden's lawyers warned prosecutors that if criminal charges were brought against him, they would put President Biden on the witness stand to testify in his defense, according to documents obtained by Politico. The defense argued that trying the president's son would create constitutional chaos and tarnish the reputation of the Department of Justice. Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to federal tax and gun charges after a plea deal, which was criticized for its leniency, fell apart due to concerns over ongoing investigations into other potential offenses committed by Hunter. The case is expected to go to trial in either Washington DC or Southern California.
