Hunter Biden plea deal unravels after disagreement over gun charge

President Joe Biden's son Hunter has pleaded not guilty to two tax crimes after a plea deal with federal prosecutors unravelled during a court hearing following the judge's concerns over the agreement.

Hunter Biden was charged last month with two misdemeanour tax crimes of failure to pay more than 100,000 dollars (£70,000) in taxes from over 1.5 million dollars (£1.16m) in income in both 2017 and 2018, and he made an agreement with prosecutors, who were planning to recommend two years of probation. That deal is now on hold.
