The Biden administration’s Department of Justice admitted during Wednesday’s hearing that there is no precedent for the aspect of Hunter Biden’s pretrial diversion agreement that prevented prosecution for crimes unrelated to the case, according to the transcript.

The deal — which Judge Maryellen Noreika declined to accept Wednesday — involved two documents: a plea deal for two misdemeanor tax charges and a diversion agreement allowing the son of President Joe Biden to avoid jail time for a felony gun charge.

The provision in question by the judge was paragraph 15 of the diversion agreement, which affirmed that the United States would not prosecute Hunter Biden for any crime “encompassed by the attached Statement of Facts” in the diversion agreement or plea deal, according to the written deal obtained by Politico.
