Social Media Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 An appeals court has upheld Hunter Biden's federal gun charges, clearing the path for the president's son to face trial in June. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Biden's appeal, citing jurisdictional constraints and refusing to review the trial judge's decision. Despite this setback, Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, hinted at potential further review, emphasizing the importance of the issues at hand. The trial is scheduled to begin on June 3, following Judge Maryellen Noreika's affirmation, despite previous attempts to dismiss the charges on grounds of political targeting. Special counsel David Weiss has brought forth three gun-related charges against Biden, who maintains his plea of not guilty, following the collapse of a proposed plea deal. As the case unfolds, questions surrounding the alleged pressure campaign and the conduct of prosecutors remain pivotal. The recent decision by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals marks a significant development in the ongoing legal saga involving Hunter Biden's federal gun charges. Despite efforts to challenge the trial judge's decision, the appeals court maintained that it lacked the jurisdiction to intervene at this stage, paving the way for the case to proceed to trial in June. While Hunter Biden's legal team expressed disappointment at the ruling, they hinted at potential further review, underscoring the importance of the issues at hand. The trial, scheduled to commence on June 3, has been subject to intense scrutiny and legal wrangling in recent months. Hunter Biden's defense has sought to dismiss the charges, alleging political targeting and improper conduct by prosecutors. However, these claims were dismissed by Judge Maryellen Noreika, who affirmed the trial date and emphasized the lack of credible evidence supporting allegations of outside influence on the special counsel's decision. At the heart of the case are three gun-related charges brought against Hunter Biden by special counsel David Weiss. These charges, including allegations of failing to disclose drug use and unlawful possession of a firearm, have been vehemently denied by Biden, who maintains his plea of not guilty. The case took a dramatic turn with the collapse of a proposed plea deal, which would have seen Biden plead guilty to tax offenses in exchange for avoiding formal gun-related charges and entering a pretrial diversion program. As the trial date approaches, questions surrounding the conduct of prosecutors and the alleged pressure campaign from Congressional Republicans remain unresolved. Hunter Biden's legal team has raised concerns about the changing stance of prosecutors and the lack of clarity surrounding their decisions. Despite these challenges, the upcoming trial is expected to shed light on the intricacies of the case and its implications for the broader political landscape. 2024-05-11 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Not to worry. Within a week after the election, he'll get a pardon. Though it would be political suicide to pardon him today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
