Hunter Biden’s latest attempt to dismiss the upcoming trial on tax charges has been rejected.
A federal judge rejected Biden’s bid to toss the case after the president’s son sought to argue the special counsel prosecuting the case was improperly appointed.
According to The Hill, Biden had made the argument after the judge overseeing former President Trump’s documents case ruled that special counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed – a decision the Justice Department is now appealing.
California-based Judge Mark Scarsi rejected similar logic in Biden’s case, allowing the trial to move forward in September.
Scarsi wrote that he had already weighed the legality of special counsel David Weiss’s role, finding he was properly appointed. He said Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling did not provide a basis for reconsidering that decision.
Biden’s attempts to avoid answering from his crimes are becoming increasingly desperate. The president’s son previously filed a motion seeking to toss the case by arguing the case was politically motivated.
In the California-based case, Biden is accused of failure to pay more than $1.4 million in taxes.
