Hunter Biden,Federal Gun Case,Dismissal

A federal judge in Delaware rejects Hunter Biden's claim of being prosecuted for political purposes and refuses to dismiss a federal gun case against him. The ruling increases the likelihood of Biden facing trial in June.

A federal judge in Delaware refused Friday to dismiss a federal gun case against Hunter Biden. U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika's ruling increases the prospect that Biden could face trial in the case as early as June. His efforts to scuttle the other criminal case he faces in California involving tax allegations have also failed.This rejects the president’s son’s claim that he was being prosecuted for political purposes and other arguments.

Biden's legal team contended that the case was politically motivated and maintained that an immunity provision from a previous plea deal remains valid despite its dissolution. Additionally, they disputed the appointment of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel overseeing the prosecution.Noreika, appointed to the bench by former President Donald Trump, has yet to issue a ruling on the challenge to the constitutionality of the gun charges.
