Hunter Biden Loses Bid To Drop Gun Charges: Appeals Court Rejects His Claims of ‘Vindictive Prosecution’
The three-judge panel did not rule on the merits of his arguments, but says his motions to dismiss charges — which were denied by a district judge — are not ‘appealable’ at this time.
A panel of judges on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals has allowed the prosecution of Hunter Biden for purchasing and possessing a firearm while actively addicted to drugs to proceed. The first son had asked the appellate court to dismiss charges on the grounds that he was the victim of a vindictive prosecution, among other things.
Judges D. Brooks Smith, Cindy Chung, and Patty Shwartz — who were appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush, President Biden, and President Obama, respectively — said in a unanimous decision that the first son does not have the right to appeal the orders that denied his motions to dismiss at this time.
