Lawyers for Hunter Biden Cite Supreme Court Ruling to Argue Charges Should Be Dropped

Hunter Biden's lawyers have used the Supreme Court's decision to expand Second Amendment rights to argue that a prosecution against him for a gun purchase would likely be ruled moot.
Hunter Biden is under investigation for several potential offenses, including whether he lied on a federal firearms application in 2018 when asked if he was addicted to drugs.
Hunter Biden's lawyers have argued that any charge against him would likely be thrown out after federal appeals courts rule on two major challenges that cite the Supreme Court decision as precedent.
One of the cases cited by Hunter Biden's team challenges the criteria used in the federal firearms background check system and is pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit.
The Supreme Court's ruling has spawned dozens of lawsuits across the country, including some that challenge the federal government's right to deny firearms to people who are addicted to drugs.
