Hunter Biden’s upcoming federal tax evasion trial is set to proceed next month, following a California judge’s rejection of his recent attempt to have the case dismissed. The trial, which will take place in a Los Angeles court on September 9, centers on allegations that the son of President Biden failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019.
Hunter’s defense team sought to have the three felony and six misdemeanor tax charges dismissed, arguing that David Weiss’ appointment as special counsel to prosecute the case was unconstitutional. They also claimed that Weiss, who serves as a US attorney in Delaware, lacks the jurisdiction to oversee a case in California.
