Overview

• Hunter Biden, convicted on three felony counts related to a 2018 firearm purchase, has retracted his request for a new trial.
• The motion was withdrawn after federal prosecutors highlighted a misinterpretation of appellate court orders by Biden's legal team.
• Prosecutors described the defense's argument as 'meritless' and based on a misunderstanding of court procedures.
• Biden faces up to 25 years in prison but is unlikely to receive the maximum sentence due to his lack of prior criminal record.
• He is also scheduled to face trial on federal tax charges in September.
