Hunter Biden has requested the dismissal of criminal cases against him in Delaware and California, drawing parallels to a case involving former President Donald Trump. Biden's legal team argues that Special Counsel David Weiss was unlawfully appointed, mirroring the circumstances that led to the dismissal of charges against Trump.
Biden, who was recently convicted on three felony charges related to a 2018 handgun purchase, is also facing an ongoing federal tax case in California. His attorneys contend that Weiss' appointment violated the Appointments Clause, as he was not Senate-confirmed as special counsel.
