In addition, the judge explained that the measure to dismiss the charges was taken "The United States has moved “to voluntarily dismiss the information filed in the above-captioned matter without prejudice so that the United States can bring tax charges in a district where venue lies."

The decision was expected after a failed plea deal last month between federal prosecutors and lawyers for President Joe Biden's son. "Special counsel David Weiss' office moved to dismiss the charges last week, citing venue problems that would not have been an issue had Biden pleaded guilty, as initially expected," according to NBC.
