Judge destroys Hunter Biden’s attempt to throw out tax case based on ‘virtually no evidence’ of vindictive prosecution and notion that Roger Stone was treated better – By Matt Nahama (Law & Crime) / April 2, 2024
President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden threw eight motions at the wall to dismiss his federal tax prosecution, but none of them stuck, especially his claims of selective and vindictive prosecution.
A federal judge on Monday on the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California denied the myriad motions to dismiss, starting with Biden’s complaint about special counsel David Weiss and the plea agreement that fell apart last year.
After U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi rejected the theory that the scuttled diversion agreement granted Biden immunity from prosecution, he quickly dispensed with defense arguments that Weiss was unlawfully appointed as special counsel and unlawfully funded. From here, he spent considerable time dismantling the defendant’s claims that he’s being treated differently because other tax cases have been resolved civilly rather than criminally.
