Hunter Biden, son of the President of the United States, finds himself embroiled in a legal saga over federal tax charges. His defense team has launched a vigorous counterattack, alleging political pressure, unlawful leaks, and improper procedures. Facing charges in California for alleged tax offenses, Biden’s lawyers filed nine motions challenging the case, citing selective prosecution and the influence of extremist politics. Attorney General Merrick Garland’s elevation of special counsel David Weiss, a Trump appointee, adds complexity to the legal maneuvers. Biden’s defense contends that the failed plea deal in Delaware should have precluded further charges and questions the legitimacy of Weiss’s appointment. Amidst the legal wrangling, Trump is expected to file a similar motion in his own case. However, the judges, both appointed by Trump, have denied Biden’s request for postponement, setting the stage for a legal showdown.
