A federal judge in Los Angeles has rejected Hunter Biden’s request to dismiss tax charges accusing him of a four-year scheme to avoid paying $1.4 million in taxes while living an extravagant lifestyle. U.S. District Judge Marc Scarsi dismissed claims that federal prosecutors had caved to pressure from Republicans or that Biden had immunity from a previous plea deal. Hunter Biden, 54, has pleaded not guilty to failing to pay taxes between 2016 and 2019, while allegedly spending millions of dollars on drugs, escorts, exotic cars, and other items. The trial is tentatively scheduled to begin on June 20 with jury selection.
Despite his lawyer, Abbe Lowell, making a three-hour case to the judge, Hunter Biden’s request to dismiss tax charges has been denied by the federal judge in Los Angeles. The judge, Marc Scarsi, has stated that he will issue a ruling on this matter by April 17. Hunter Biden, who is the first child of a sitting president to face criminal charges, also faces a separate criminal case in federal court in Delaware over his alleged purchase of a handgun while using illegal drugs. In both cases, Biden has pleaded not guilty and made arguments to dismiss the charges. The trial is tentatively scheduled to begin on June 20 with jury selection.
