After receiving a full and unconditional pardon from his father, President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden's lawyer moved to dismiss indictments against him. The pardon, announced on December 1, covers a decade and includes charges related to federal taxes and gun offenses.
The lawyer for U.S. President Joe Biden ’s son Hunter filed to dismiss indictments against him, after his father issued a pardon earlier that day that spans a decade.
The president’s full and unconditional pardon “requires dismissal of the indictment against” Hunter Biden, his lawyer wrote in filings late Sunday related to criminal tax and gun cases against him. Hunter Biden pleaded guilty in September to federal tax charges in federal court in Los Angeles and was due to be sentenced Dec. 16 under Mark C. Scarsi, a judge nominated by Republican president-elect Donald Trump. A jury found him guilty in June of making false statements on a gun background check; he was due to be sentenced this week.
