Hunter Biden Withdraws Motion for New Gun Trial After Legal Misunderstanding

Biden's defense team conceded their error following prosecutors' clarification on appellate procedures.

  • Hunter Biden, convicted on three felony counts related to a 2018 firearm purchase, has retracted his request for a new trial.
  • The motion was withdrawn after federal prosecutors highlighted a misinterpretation of appellate court orders by Biden's legal team.
  • Prosecutors described the defense's argument as 'meritless' and based on a misunderstanding of court procedures.
  • Biden faces up to 25 years in prison but is unlikely to receive the maximum sentence due to his lack of prior criminal record.
  • He is also scheduled to face trial on federal tax charges in September.
