CNN anchors were seen having a meltdown over how Hunter Biden’s federal plea deal fell apart on Wednesday, asking how there could be “such a big miscommunication?”

The scramble took place as U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika said she was not ready to accept a so-called “sweetheart” plea deal after the prosecution revealed the investigation into President Joe Biden’s son is continuing.

“I cannot even begin to explain how the Justice Department walks into that courtroom without knowing exactly what the scope of immunity or coverage is for Hunter Biden, and equally, I cannot even begin to understand how Hunter Biden’s lawyers walk him into that courthouse without knowing exactly what the constraints, what the limitations of that deal are!” said Elie Honig, a senior legal analyst for the network.
