Prosecutors are moving aggressively because the plea deal fell apart. But why did it fall apart?

    For anyone wondering, the plea deal fell apart because the judge asked if the plea deal meant that Hunter couldn’t be charged for related past crimes and the prosecutor said no while Hunter’s attorney said yes. The judge didn’t accept it because they had different understandings of the plea deal and they were not successful in renegotiating the deal.

      It was the other way around. Hunter’s team believed it would prevent future charges and the prosecution did not.
