Federal Prosecutors Accuse Hunter of Attempting to Delay Tax Trial with Stunt

Federal prosecutors involved in the tax fraud case of Hunter Biden accused him of attempting to delay the trial by appealing a motion to dismiss his charges, which was denied last month. They referred to this action as a “stunt” and an attempt to “game the system,” according to a court filing seen by Newsmax.

In the case, Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has pleaded not guilty to nine tax charges, including misdemeanors and felonies related to failure to file and pay taxes, evasion of assessment, and false tax returns. Despite his plea, the U.S. District Court Judge Mark Scarsi rejected his argument that the charges were politically motivated and should be dismissed on April 1.

Following this denial, Hunter Biden appealed the ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. A trial date for the tax charges has been set for June 20 in Los Angeles, and he also faces a separate trial on federal gun charges in Delaware on June 3.

Prosecutors have filed a motion requesting Hunter Biden’s legal team to submit proposed jury instructions to ensure that the trial can proceed as scheduled without any delays. They criticized Hunter Biden’s perceived disregard for the court’s schedule and orders, calling his behavior an attempt to “put himself above the law” and manipulate the legal process.

Newsmax contacted Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, for a response to the allegations made in the court filing.
