Biden Seeks Dismissal of Tax Charges, Alleging Politically Motivated Prosecution
-
Hunter Biden's lawyers filed motions seeking to dismiss the federal tax charges against him, alleging the prosecution is politically motivated and vindictive.
-
The motions argue the case is defective for several reasons, including selective and vindictive prosecution driven by pressure from "extremist Republicans."
-
Biden's attorney contends the failed plea agreement on the gun charge should preclude any other charges and argues special counsel David Weiss was illegally appointed.
-
The motions claim IRS investigators illegally leaked Biden's records and Weiss caved to GOP pressure at several points.
-
Biden recently asked the judge to delay deadlines to allow the judge in the Delaware gun case to rule first on similar motions filed there, but that request was denied.
