Hunter Biden tried to use President Trump’s argument from last month that won him the day in his DOJ’s classified docs case.
But the judge was having none of it, citing that he’d already denied a motion made by Hunter that Special Counsel Weiss was improperly appointed and there is no need to reconsider.
Here’s more from the AP:
A federal judge on Monday denied Hunter Biden’s latest bid to dismiss the tax charges against him, setting the stage for his trial to begin next month in California.
Citing a ruling in Florida that threw out a separate prosecution of former President Donald Trump, Hunter Biden’s lawyers had urged the judge to dismiss the case accusing him of a four-year scheme to avoid paying at least $1.4 million in taxes.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon tossed Trump’s classified documents case last month because she said special counsel Jack Smith, who filed those charges, was illegally appointed by the Justice Department. The Justice Department is appealing that ruling.
Hunter Biden’s lawyers had argued the same logic should apply in his case, which was brought by a different Justice Department special counsel.
But U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi noted in his ruling that he had already rejected a previous challenge by Hunter Biden to the appointment of special counsel David Weiss. The judge said there is “no valid basis for reconsideration” of that decision.
I don’t know what Hunter is worried about. He’s gonna get bailed out by Daddy Joe before his term is up so he should just get on with the trial and get it over with. Despite all these legal machinations, Hunter is above the law and his dad will make sure of it.
