A federal judge in California ruled against Hunter Biden’s attempt to toss out his tax charges on Monday, letting the criminal case against the president’s son move forward.
The younger Biden faces three felony charges and six misdemeanor charges in connection to tax evasion, filing a false return and failing to pay taxes between 2016 and 2019. His attorneys argued last month that the case was politically motivated and tainted by two IRS agents who later became whistleblowers.
He filed eight separate motions to dismiss the charges, citing different legal rationale for each, all of which were denied.
Judge Mark Scarsi determined that the case was not political, shutting down Biden’s main argument by noting that Biden’s attorneys did not provide evidence for the claim.
“The motion is remarkable in that it fails to include a single declaration, exhibit, or request for judicial notice,” he wrote. “Instead, Defendant cites portions of various Internet news sources, social media posts, and legal blogs. These citations, however, are not evidence.”
Scarsi added that the sources, mostly media reports about the case, “contain multiple levels of hearsay.”
The judge similarly threw out Biden’s claim of selective and vindictive prosecution.
Nice try !! Gotcha !!
They won’t do a damn thing about it because he’s a biden
Thank you 3:10 for not being “asleep at the wheel.” This article and the case itself are a complete waste of time, resources, and money. The outcome was decided and swept under the rug before the first portion of ink hit the paper on this one. Much like the “resident” of the white house; the judge (servant) was compensated and given the script, made a public “denial,” and moved on to the next issue to make it appear that there the bidens are held accountable like everyone else. We all know at the end of the day that all you have to do is follow the dirty money and you will get your answer. Nothing to see here…..
