Hunter Biden attorney Christopher Clark is withdrawing from representing the president’s son in a Delaware probe, pointing to a continuing legal battle over a plea agreement in the tax case that dissolved before it could be approved by a judge.
Clark’s notice to the court indicates he could be a witness in coming challenges over the disintegration of the deal, which the Justice Department moved to withdraw minutes after Attorney General Merrick Garland elevated Delaware prosecutor David Weiss to serve as a special counsel in the matter.
“Based on recent developments, it appears that the negotiation and drafting of the plea agreement and diversion agreement will be contested, and Mr. Clark is a percipient witness to those issues,” Clark wrote.
He went on to cite Delaware professional conduct rules dictating that “a lawyer shall not act as advocate at a trial in which the lawyer is likely to be a necessary witness.”
Clark has represented Biden throughout the five-year investigation and helped broker the plea deal.

Delaying tactic. Team Biden Crime family are busy kicking this issue over the 2024 goal posts.

Delaware’s prosecutor Weiss (now special counsel) isnt too bright.
He is the one who concocted the sweetheart plea deal for Hunter,
that was kiboshed after presented for the court’s consideration.
Weiss’ plea deal was so meager that it did not even reach
the level of a ‘limited hangout’ (which seems to be its original intent).
A “limited hangout” is a public relations scam in which a
guilty perp who wants to cover up a major crime will admit
to a very small portion of the crime in order to claim that
the issue has been put to rest.
Everybody involved in this is corrupt.
Clever wording here. The authors make it sound like the deal evaporated when Attorney General Merrick Garland elevated Delaware prosecutor David Weiss to serve as a special counsel in the matter, rather than when an astute judge looked at the deal and said (more or less), "Hey, what is this garbage in your proffered plea deal?" Nice spin.
Liz, as always, thanks for the pings.
Good catch.....we need to keep emphasizing that.
It’s also highly unusual for a Biden capo to obey the law.
He must be hiding something.
