Overview

• Hunter Biden's legal team has filed a series of motions arguing for the dismissal of federal gun charges against him, claiming they are politically motivated.
• The defense argues that the charges are a result of pressure from former President Trump and his allies, and that the prosecution violated its own non-prosecution agreement.
• The charges against Biden include one count of false statement in the purchase of a firearm, one count of possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of a controlled substance, and one count of false statement related to information required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer.
• The defense also disputes the authenticity of evidence obtained from Biden's laptop and argues that Special Counsel David Weiss was unlawfully appointed to oversee the case.
• In addition to the gun charges, Biden is also facing tax-related charges in California, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
