Hunter Biden's lawyers are pushing back against prosecutors' attempts to introduce politically-charged allegations about his foreign business dealings into his upcoming federal tax trial. The trial, set to take place next month in Los Angeles, focuses on at least $1.4 million in taxes owed by Hunter Biden between 2016 and 2019.
Prosecutors plan to call a business associate of Hunter Biden's to testify about an arrangement with a Romanian businessman who sought to influence U.S. government policy during Joe Biden's tenure as vice president. Hunter Biden's defense team argues that these matters are irrelevant to the tax case and could confuse jurors.
