Lowell suggested that they may still be open to\u2062 working out a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fiat-chrysler-to-pay-30m-settlement-linked-to-racketeering-scandal\/\" title=\"Fiat Chrysler to pay M settlement linked to racketeering scandal\">plea deal<\/a> \u200bto prevent\u2064 Biden from\u2062 facing a trial.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We were trying\u200d to avoid [a trial] all along,&#8221; stated Lowell. &#8220;And so were the \u200cprosecutors who came forward to us\u200b and were the ones to say, &#8216;Can there \u2064be a resolution short \u2064of a prosecution?&#8217; So they wanted \u2063it and maybe \u200cthey still do want it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Initially, Biden and the DOJ had agreed to a plea deal that would \u2063have allowed \u200cthe first son to\u2062 evade prison time for tax and gun charges.
