Noreika then asked if Hunter could face more serious charges, to which Hunter’s lawyer and prosecutors said no. Noreika asked if an investigation was ongoing, and US Attorney David Weiss said it was and he could not elaborate.
The judge then asked if Hunter could be charged for not registering as a foreign agent, and if the plea deal could interfere with protection for the hypothetical charge. Hunter’s lawyer said they believed the deal would block him from being charged, but the prosecution did not agree.Asked about the surprise development, White House press secretary said: ‘Hunter Biden is a private citizen.
