District Judge Mark Scarsi denied eight motions to dismiss an indictment against President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, Monday.
The younger Biden has pleaded not guilty to nine felony and misdemeanor tax allegations that supposedly allowed him to avoid paying $1.4 million in tax while living an expensive lifestyle, Newsmax reported. Biden’s attorney Abbe Lowell said the prosecution is politically motivated, but the judge found no evidence to support his claims.
“Defendant fails to present a reasonable inference, let alone clear evidence, of discriminatory effect and discriminatory purpose,” Scarsi wrote in his ruling. Biden’s attorney said in a statement that he strongly disagrees with the ruling. (LEARN MORE: Major News Organization Rejects All Harvard, MIT, Penn Grads Over School’s Antisemitism)

Biden refused a deal regarding the charges that would have given him two years probation if he pleaded guilty. Both the tax and gun case will move forward with trials tentatively set for June 2024. If convicted on the tax charges, Biden faces up to 17 years in prison.
