A federal appeals court in DC denied a request for the expedited release of a set of records related to U.S. Attorney David Weiss's investigation of Hunter Biden ahead of his Wednesday plea deal hearing.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said that plaintiffs at the conservative Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project, which sought documents related to the five-year investigation into Hunter Biden, would likely not satisfy the criteria necessary to grant an emergency motion for an injunction over a previous denial for the records.Last week, U.S.
The Oversight Project filed its Freedom of Information Act lawsuit in June, shortly after Hunter Biden was charged with two misdemeanor tax charges and a felony gun charge. The group later sought a preliminary injunction compelling nearly a full response to their FOIA request by July 21, just days before Hunter Biden's criminal proceedings.
President Joe Biden's son is slated to enter a plea deal in a federal district court in Delaware on Wednesday with Weiss. The terms of the deal include the younger Biden pleading guilty to the misdemeanor charges and entering a pretrial diversion agreement for the felony gun charge, meaning he will not face any prison time.
