President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden has been indicted by special counsel David Weiss on felony gun charges.
The charge bring renewed legal pressure on the younger Biden after a plea agreement he struck with prosecutors deteriorated in recent months.
Prosecutors have spent years scrutinizing Hunter Biden's business endeavors and personal life -- a probe that appeared to culminate in a plea agreement the two sides struck in June, which would have allowed him to plead guilty to a pair of misdemeanor tax offenses and enter into a pretrial diversion program to avoid prosecution on a felony gun charge.
Weeks later, on Aug. 11, Attorney General Merrick Garland elevated Weiss to special counsel, granting him broader authority to press charges against Hunter Biden in any district in the country. Weiss filed court papers in early September signaling his intention to level the felony gun charge against the president's son by the end of the month.
