Hunter Biden loses bid to toss tax evasion case

A judge on Monday denied Hunter Biden's bid to dismiss a federal tax evasion case in California. Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, was convicted in June in Delaware for lying about his illegal drug use to buy a gun. He is set to go to trial in September for the tax evasion case. Hunter Biden, who has pleaded not guilty to the tax charges, contended that David Weiss, the special counsel leading both prosecutions, was illegally appointed. Biden's argument was based on a federal judge's decision dismissing a criminal case against former President Donald Trump for allegedly retaining classified documents after leaving office.
