Hunter Biden requests Los Angeles judge to waive $1.4M tax evasion case

Hindustan Times  

Hunter Biden's legal team have requested the Los Angeles judge to dismiss the tax evasion charges against him. Judge sceptical as defence cites political influence in Hunter's tax case Defence lawyers, led by Abbe Lowell, believe that Hunter was selectively chosen due to backlash that was heard from within the Republican party. The judge also questioned the defence’s assertion that two IRS agents, “How are they responsible for what’s in the indictment?” who disclosed information about Hunter Biden’s tax returns. Prosecutor Leo Wise dismissed the notion that the IRS agents had any sway over the prosecution’s actions, labelling such claims as “patently absurd.” Hunter pled ‘not guilty’ The trial is set to commence in June, ahead of the November presidential election, which is anticipated to be a tightly contested race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
