A federal judge has denied multiple attempts by Hunter Biden to dismiss his felony gun indictment in Delaware. The trial, set to commence in early June, marks the first-ever prosecution of a sitting US president's child. Federal Judge Maryellen Noreika issued the rulings on Friday in this high-profile case. Hunter Biden has entered a plea of not guilty to charges of falsifying federal firearm forms and possessing a gun while using illicit drugs.
In response to claims from Hunter Biden's legal team that he was being selectively prosecuted due to his relation to President Joe Biden, the judge highlighted that the attorney general who appointed special counsel David Weiss overseeing the cases against Hunter Biden was chosen by his father, who leads the executive branch of the government. The judge dismissed the notion that Hunter Biden was targeted for being the president's son, deeming the claim baseless.
