Hunter Biden, the first son of President Joe Biden, has decided to withdraw his bid for a new trial in his gun case after federal prosecutors criticized him for his “failure to read” court orders. The 54-year-old was convicted in June of lying about his drug addiction to obtain a firearm.
In a recent filing, prosecutors from special counsel David Weiss’ office pointed out that the Third Circuit Court of Appeals had already given the Delaware federal Judge Maryellen Noreika the approval to try Hunter Biden. This detail was missed by Hunter and his legal team, leading to his failed attempt at a new trial.
This latest development comes after Hunter Biden’s motion for a new trial was filed on June 24, where he argued that the judge did not have jurisdiction over the case. However, prosecutors highlighted that the appeals had already been dismissed by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals prior to the trial taking place.
This turn of events has led to Hunter Biden withdrawing his bid for a new trial, as federal prosecutors criticized him for his alleged “misunderstanding of appellate practice” and “failure to read” prior court orders.
