Joyce Vance prosecuted tax evasion. She said that it is unusual to bring charges and/or proceed to trial when the defendant had already paid the back taxes.
This is the real witch hunt that MAGA screams about.

In June, Hunter Biden initially reached a plea agreement with the DOJ to plead guilty to 2 misdemeanors for failing to pay taxes. But that deal fell through in August, and the Special Counsel, David Weiss, was expected to refile the charges in California or Washington, D.C.
The timeline:
-In June: HB agreed to plead guilty to 2 federal misdemeanors relating to his income taxes & enter into a Pretrial Diversion agreement relating to a felony gun charge.
-In July: After the deal fell apart, HB pleaded not guilty to 2 misdemeanors re his taxes.
-In August, the judge dismissed the 2 tax misdemeanors.
-In September, HB was indicted for 3 gun charges relating to his drug use and gun purchase. He has pleaded not guilty.
-This indictment includes new charges that were not a part of the plea deal from earlier this year.
