Hunter Biden's Motion to Dismiss Gun Charges Denied by Federal Judge

The court rejects claims of political motivation and selective prosecution, setting the stage for a June trial.

U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika ruled against dismissing Hunter Biden's gun charges, citing insufficient evidence of selective prosecution.
Hunter Biden faces charges for lying about drug use on a gun purchase form in 2018 and illegal possession of a firearm.
Defense arguments claiming political pressure and unconstitutional charges were dismissed by the court.
The trial for the gun charges is scheduled to begin on June 3, coinciding with President Joe Biden's re-election campaign.
Hunter Biden has also pleaded not guilty to separate federal tax crimes, with that trial set for June 20.
