Federal judge denies Hunter Biden's motion to dismiss gun charges

A federal judge in Delaware, Maryellen Noreika, has denied Hunter Biden's request to dismiss gun charges against him. Biden was charged with lying about his drug use on a form to purchase a gun in October 2018 and illegally possessing the weapon. The defense argued that the prosecution was politically motivated and that prosecutors succumbed to pressure from Republicans. However, Judge Noreika ruled against these claims, allowing for a trial on the gun charges to proceed, which is scheduled to start on June 3 in Wilmington, Delaware.
