Special counsel David Weiss roundly rejected claims by Hunter Biden's defense team on Tuesday that part of a plea agreement between them had gone into effect, escalating a dispute in a case that could be headed for trial.
First time, i think, hunter biden was ever held account being. the judge, at the end of the court proceeding apologized to hunter biden. she said, look, i know you want to put this behind you, and this is really not fair to you but essentially she said this is not how the system works. you don t get to negotiate some sweetheart deal like this behind closed doors and you still be under investigation. the standards that have been applied here and according to the counsel is unprecedented. you have got to come back to court and this is my order to you go get a job, no drugs, no alcohol. the white house press secretary said that the president and the first lady, they just support their son. watch. hunter biden is a private citizen and this was a personal matter for him. as we have said, the president, the first lady, they love their son and they support him as he continues to rebuild his life. steve: and we have heard her
the 81-year-old left the room and later returned to the podium. he says when president biden called to check in on him he joked that he had been sandbagged. reference to president biden stumbling during the incident in colorado last month. team usa battling to defend their title in a world cup match against the netherlands yesterday. outing yesterday s outing ending in a draw. the dutch team taking the lead in the first half yesterday but the americans scoring off a corner kick to tie the game 1-1. ball headed down tied and 1. she did it. carley: team u.s.a. will face portugal next on tuesday at 3:00 a.m. eastern time on fox.
Federally for much, much longer. i have never seen anything like this. they basically, both sides basically buried a key provision within the diversion, the pre-trial diversion. there is the pre-trial diversion which usually the judge has nothing to do with. there is a very broad provision in the pre-trial diversion agreement is basically what gave him, hunter biden broad immunity. and the judge figured it out and wouldn t let it happen. and, by the way, this is paragraph 15 of the pre-trial diversion agreement. she didn t even get that apparently until a few minutes before the actual plea hearing. very, very hinky. steve: no kidding. and the day before the judge received, i think, 400 pages from the house ways and means committee chairman jason smith who is going to be on our program in a little bit which included the whistleblower testimony. and we heard them live last week.
Because the moment they send this brief over to the court hunter biden in the 11th hour attorneys tried this dirty business of trying to get something stricken from the record. and they put it on the judge s radar and she didn t like it at all. when they got to court, she began to assess the deal and say look, can he still be prosecuted in the future? have y all come to a resolution here? and she also asked was there any precedent for any of this and the prosecution. ainsley: said no. lawrence: said no. so for all of the nonsense that they have been saying about this being political, that the republicans are [inaudible] production. when the prosecutors have to answer under oath and judge was there any precedent for this? they said no. steve: because, here s the thing, lawrence. it s not like lawyers trying to pull something over the
