Hunter Biden has again asked a judge to dismiss the federal gun case against him on Tuesday, arguing it is politically motivated and key evidence was tested after charges were filed.

Cocaine residue found on the pouch of US President Joe Biden’s son used to hold his gun was only identified last year, after a scuttled plea deal and subsequent indictment, Mr Biden’s defence lawyer said in court documents.
