Hunter Biden continues to get bad news. On Wednesday, the president’s son encountered a significant judicial hurdle when U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi dismissed arguments presented by Biden’s legal team aiming to put away the federal tax charges against him. This now signals a potential trial in the horizon if the charges proceed.
At the hearing in Los Angeles, Hunter’s lawyers sparred with the legal team led by special counsel David Weiss, who observed from the audience.
The defense argued that the felony tax indictment against Hunter, which accuses him of failing to file and pay taxes on time and engaging in illegal tax-evasion tactics, should be dismissed due to claims of “outrageous” partisan misconduct and alleged immunity from a previous plea deal.
However, Judge Scarsi pointed at the lack of factual evidence linking the charges to Republican political motivations or congressional investigations into the Biden family’s finances. “One of the big hurdles that this motion has it that it’s not filed with any evidence,” Scarsi said according to The Washington Post.
