Dismissal of Hunter Biden's Tax Charges Allows Probe to Proceed, Prompting Calls for Special Counsel Investigation into Jared Kushner

A federal judge in Delaware has dismissed the misdemeanor tax charges against Hunter Biden after his plea deal fell through last month. The Justice Department filed a motion to dismiss the case ahead of a possible trial on Biden's felony gun charge in a different district. Biden's attorneys and Special Counsel David Weiss are still in disagreement over a diversion agreement for the felony charge. Weiss has indicated the possibility of taking Biden to trial in the future. The federal prosecutors confirmed that Biden is still under federal investigation.
