The president's son has asked a federal judge to dismiss a nine-count indictment for alleged tax-related violations on millions of dollars of income.
A federal judge in Los Angeles on Wednesday will consider Hunter Biden’s bid to throw out nine tax-related charges, with the president’s son arguing that he’s being vindictively prosecuted by the Justice Department and had his rights trampled by two IRS agents who publicly revealed his confidential tax records. Biden’s legal team and federal prosecutors under special counsel David Weiss are expected to square off at an afternoon hearing before U.S. District Judge Mark C.
Prosecutors assert that Biden’s argument is a fiction that ignores a clear fact: Trump is no longer president and Biden’s father oversees the Justice Department. “The defendant concocts a conspiracy theory that the prosecution has ‘upped the ante’ to appease politicians who have absolutely nothing to do with the prosecution and are not even members of the current Executive Branch,” prosecutors wrote.
