Federal Appeals Court Denies Hunter Biden's Motion to Dismiss Gun Charges

The decision sets the stage for a trial in June, intensifying legal scrutiny on the president's son amid other ongoing cases.

A unanimous ruling by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the gun charges against Hunter Biden, rejecting his appeal for dismissal.
The charges stem from a 2018 incident where Biden allegedly lied about his drug use on a federal gun purchase form.
Hunter Biden's legal team may seek further review from the full appeals court or the U.S. Supreme Court.
The trial, set for early June, could coincide with other high-profile legal proceedings, including tax charges in a separate case.
Legal experts suggest the case highlights broader issues of selective prosecution and the complexities of pre-trial diversion agreements.
