Hunter Biden, the son of U.S. President Joe Biden, has resubmitted a motion for a new trial in his federal gun case. The motion, which was initially withdrawn by his defense team without explanation, cites lack of jurisdiction as the primary reason. This request comes after Biden was convicted on three felony counts related to his purchase of a firearm in 2018 while allegedly using drugs. His attorneys argue that despite the conviction, his Second Amendment right to bear arms should remain intact as he never acted violently or misused the gun.
