Hunter Biden seeks court dismissal after Trump case dumped

President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden has asked a court to dismiss tax and gun charges against him, citing a similar ruling that threw out a separate prosecution of former president Donald Trump.

The requests in federal court in Delaware and California underscore the potential ramifications of US District Judge Aileen Cannon’s dismissal of the classified documents case against Mr Trump and the possibility that it could unsettle the legal landscape surrounding Justice Department special counsels.
