Hunter Biden hearing ends with judge unable to accept plea deal

The plea deal between the Justice Department and Hunter Biden is on hold after a judge said she “cannot accept the plea agreement today.” District Judge Maryellen Noreika said she had “concerns” with the deal. The president’s son had agreed to plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors with prosecutors saying they’d recommend a sentence of probation. The deal was also meant to resolve a federal firearms offense. Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Elie Honig tells Anderson Cooper whether he thinks the judge made the right call. Plus, CNN’s Randi Kaye remembers the life and legacy of Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad O’Connor, who died at 56.
