"Judge Upholds Federal Gun Case Against Hunter Biden"

A federal judge in Delaware has refused to dismiss the federal gun case against Hunter Biden, rejecting his claims of political prosecution and other arguments. The trial is tentatively scheduled to begin in early June, and the judge has not yet ruled on a challenge to the constitutionality of the gun charges. Hunter Biden also faces separate tax counts in Los Angeles, alleging he failed to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes over three years while living an "extravagant lifestyle" during his days of using drugs. Biden has pleaded not guilty in both cases, and his legal team has argued that he was "selectively charged" for improper political purposes.
