TL;DR Summary

Hunter Biden's lawyers argue that their deal with the Justice Department to resolve a felony gun charge is still "valid and binding," despite the collapse of plea talks. The newly appointed special counsel, David Weiss, has been granted more powers and independence as he investigates tax and gun charges against the son of the sitting president. The parties had previously struck two deals, one involving federal tax misdemeanors and the other a felony gun charge. The gun deal was signed by both parties and presented to a federal judge, but negotiations fell apart. Hunter Biden's lawyers claim that it was the prosecutors who crafted the agreements that the judge balked at, and they argue that their client intends to abide by the terms of the gun deal.
