"Hunter Biden Fights Tax Charges, Alleging Political Interference and Mistaken Identity"

Hunter Biden's attorneys filed nine motions seeking to dismiss tax-related charges, arguing that the prosecution was influenced by political pressure and that the charges were selectively targeted. They also claimed that the statute of limitations had expired, there were duplicative charges, and improper venue. Additionally, they argued that Hunter Biden had already paid his taxes with interest and penalties for one of the tax charges. The attorneys also criticized the conduct of IRS whistleblowers and the special counsel's appointment, funding, and indictment, while seeking to strike certain allegations from the indictment. Hunter Biden had previously pleaded not guilty to the nine tax-related charges and had asked a federal judge to dismiss gun-related charges against him.
