Lawyers for Hunter Biden on Thursday asked a federal judge in Delaware to toss out his criminal gun case conviction, citing a recent opinion by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and the dismissal this week of the criminal classified documents case against former President Donald Trump.
Biden’s lawyers pointed to those rulings in arguing that the appointment of U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel for prosecutions of the son of President Joe Biden was unconstitutional.
Hunter Biden, 54, was convicted in June of three felony counts related to his purchase of a handgun in Delaware in 2018 while being a user and addict of crack cocaine.
