They also intend to use excerpts from Hunter Biden’s memoir and text messages to provide evidence against him. Hunter Biden’s attorneys have raised concerns about the authenticity of evidence from his abandoned laptop, but the prosecutors argue that the evidence is valid.

The trial has faced various challenges, including delays requested by Hunter Biden’s legal team and attempts to dismiss the case. His attorneys have accused the prosecutors of engaging in selective and vindictive prosecution based on his family and political connections. However, Judge Maryellen Noreika has denied these claims and granted the prosecution’s requests in the case.
Conservative editorial opinion: The scrutiny on Hunter Biden’s legal troubles highlights concerns of potential corruption and favoritism within the justice system. It is crucial for all individuals, regardless of their political affiliations, to be held accountable for their actions. The attempts to delay the trial and dismiss the case raise questions about transparency and fairness in the legal process. The allegations against Hunter Biden should be thoroughly investigated without any special treatment due to his family ties.
