A federal judge in Delaware rejected Hunter Biden’s motion to dismiss his federal gun case, claiming that the prosecution against him was politically motivated.
Judge Maryellen Noreika turned down Biden’s attempt, saying that President Joe Biden’s son “failed to come forward with ‘clear evidence’ that he has been prosecuted where others similarly situated were not.”
“The pressure campaign from Congressional Republicans may have occurred around the time that Special Counsel decided to move forward with indictment instead of pretrial diversion, but the Court has been given nothing credible to suggest that the conduct of those lawmakers (or anyone else) had any impact on Special Counsel,” Noreika wrote.
“It is all speculation.”
Hunter claims that the prosecution team is attacking him and singling him out, citing statements made by the Justice Department of their policy to “only prosecute firearm offenses that involve violence or threats of public safety.”
Biden pleaded not guilty to lying about his drug use while purchasing a gun in 2018, despite evidence and his confession of using crack cocaine during that period.
Furthermore, prosecutors were firm that the evidence against Biden was “overwhelming,” including the discovery of cocaine residue on his gun pouch.
The ruling comes after a judge presiding over his tax evasion case in California also turned down efforts to throw out the charges.

Judge Mark Scarsi refused to grant his appeal to dismiss tax charges against him and recognize the previous plea agreement arranged by Hunter’s legal team.
Scarsi remarked in an 82-page order that the president’s son “fail[ed] to present a reasonable inference, let alone clear evidence, of discriminatory effect and discriminatory purpose.”
Furthermore, the judge said there was no proof of the prosecutors giving in to pressure from Congressional Republicans, contradicting Biden’s arguments that he was “unfairly targeted.”
District Judge Scarsi turned down eight motions to dismiss the charges against Hunter, which accuse him of scheming to avoid paying $1.4 million in tax between 2016 and 2019 while splurging on a lavish lifestyle.
During the mentioned timeframe, Hunter has been earning $7 million from his role in Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian firm, as well as in CEFC China Energy.
According to the charges, Biden spent hundreds of thousands on strippers, $190,000 on adult entertainment, and around $400,000 on clothes.
The president’s son pleaded not guilty to the nine felony and misdemeanor tax charges against him, despite evidence proving otherwise. His lawyer, Abbe Lowell, insists that the prosecution is politically motivated, but the judge doubts these claims.
The judge also rejected accusations from the Biden camp regarding the timing of the indictments, leaks from IRS agents, and the appointment of a special counsel to oversee the case.
