In a big blow to the Biden family, a judge has denied first son Hunter Biden’s desperate attempts to dismiss the tax charges against him. The ruling effectively clears the way for the trial to proceed in June, much to the chagrin of the Biden camp.
Biden’s legal team had the audacity to file eight motions for dismissal, using flimsy arguments claiming selective prosecution and the illegitimate appointment of special counsel David Weiss. But Judge Mark Scarsi was having none of it, rejecting their feeble attempts to evade justice.

During the hearing last week, Scarsi made it crystal clear that he was unimpressed with Biden’s weak defenses. He scoffed at the notion that pressure from Republicans influenced the prosecutors’ decisions, essentially telling Biden’s team to come up with better excuses.
In a thorough 82-page filing released on Monday, Scarsi put the final nail in the coffin for Biden’s hopes of wriggling out of this mess. He shot down the claim that Weiss was unlawfully appointed, stating unequivocally that everything was above board and lawful.
With the dismissal motions firmly squashed, the stage is set for a juicy jury trial starting on June 20. Despite protesting his innocence, Biden now faces the music as he prepares to defend himself against a staggering nine charges. The drama is far from over, folks!
