Court Unanimously Rejects Hunter Biden's 'Frivolous' Gun Charge Appeal, Trial in June

May 9, 2024, 05:16 PM

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals has unanimously dismissed Hunter Biden's appeal to throw out the federal gun charges against him, confirming that his trial will proceed as scheduled on June 3 in Delaware. The court labeled the appeal as a 'frivolous' attempt and ruled that it was not permissible before a final judgment in the case. This decision follows attempts by Hunter Biden, facilitated by special counsel David Weiss last year, to dismiss the charges. In addition to facing charges related to firearms, Biden will also contend with a separate tax violation case in California.
