A federal appeals court has declined to dismiss the federal gun indictment against Hunter Biden, setting the stage for a significant criminal trial scheduled for next month in Delaware. The 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Biden's appeal to overturn previous decisions by the trial judge, allowing the case to proceed.
Special counsel David Weiss, who brought the charges against Biden, successfully argued that the appellate court lacked jurisdiction to review the matter, leading to the dismissal of Biden's appeal. The appellate panel stated, 'This appeal is dismissed because the defendant has not shown the District Court’s orders are appealable before final judgment.'
