A plea deal between prosecutors and Hunter Biden fell apart last month following a dispute about an immunity provision.
Weiss, the top federal prosecutor in Delaware since 2018, has been investigating Hunter Biden since 2019.
The president said he and the first lady "only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including Navy."
The judge deferred the decision on the plea deal, and the ruling could now be delayed for weeks.
The tentative plea agreement reached by Hunter Biden's attorneys and prosecutors crumbled in Judge Maryellen Noreika's courtroom.
An IRS whistleblower in the Hunter Biden investigation told CBS News he was blocked from pursuing leads that he thought might implicate Joe Biden. He testifies at a House hearing Wednesday.
Hunter Biden would also admit to a gun charge, which can be dismissed if he stays clean and out of trouble.
The former president's latest unfounded claim of "massive fraud" has left fellow Republicans grappling once again with how to respond.
The laptop and its alleged contents will be a key part of the investigation into the Biden family that House Republicans plan to take up in January.
Agents months ago gathered what they believe is sufficient evidence to charge the president's son with crimes related to taxes and making a false statement when purchasing a gun, according to sources.
