A federal judge rejected Hunter Biden’s attempt to get his tax evasion charges dismissed.
He cited a recent Trump decision as the reason.
A federal judge has rejected Hunter Biden’s latest attempt to dismiss tax evasion charges in a case that is expected to go to trial next month.
…
His legal team in July sought to dismiss the case by citing a recent decision by a federal judge in Florida who throw out the classified documents case against Donald Trump on the grounds that the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutional.
Similar to Trump’s legal team, Biden’s argued that Jack Weiss, the special counsel who brought charges against the sitting president’s son, was also unconstitutionally appointed.
In the seven-page ruling Monday, District Judge Mark Scarsi of the U.S. District Court of Central California did not touch on the merits of Biden’s argument but rejected it for being untimely and an attempt to relitigate a decision that quashed a previous attempt by Biden to have the case dismissed.

The trial is scheduled to begin on Sept. 5. Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
