Jonathan Turley Says He Thinks Hunter Biden’s Lawyers Put Him In ‘Worst Possible Position’ With Plea Switch

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley criticized Hunter Biden’s attorneys on Thursday for proposing to change a plea to avoid a trial in his federal tax case.

Hunter Biden’s legal team made the proposal shortly before jury selection for the case was slated to commence. Turley, on “The Story with Martha MacCallum,” said delaying this pivot until just before jury selection ensures he will receive minimal advantages from the plea proposal.

“I don’t see any discernible strategy at all. I’m a criminal defense attorney and I think that they have placed Hunter Biden in the worst possible position,” Turley said. “I mean they could have reached a plea agreement months ago when they had something to offer and by waiting until the very last minute, they are guaranteeing he gets very little benefit from a plea deal.”
