Hunter Biden’s legal troubles took an interesting turn recently as his attorneys sought to have his federal felony gun charges conviction vacated and a new trial granted based on a jurisdiction technicality. However, the motion was unexpectedly withdrawn after Special Counsel David Weiss criticized the basis of the argument as “meritless.”
Biden’s attorneys had initially claimed that the district court lacked jurisdiction over the case due to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals not issuing a formal mandate. This argument fell flat as Weiss pointed out that the appellate court had clearly indicated its decision through orders stamped “Issued in Lieu of Mandate.”
Hunter Biden Withdraws Bid for New Trial in Federal Gun Case

Weiss did not mince words in his response, calling Biden’s understanding of appellate practice into question and suggesting that either he did not comprehend the law or simply failed to read the rulings properly. The prosecutor highlighted that Biden’s motion for a new trial was based on a flawed premise and should be denied.
The whole ordeal shines a light on Hunter Biden’s legal team, particularly his high-priced attorney, Abbe Lowell, and raises questions about their grasp of basic legal procedures. This debacle does not bode well for Hunter Biden, especially considering his father, President Joe Biden, has touted him as the “smartest guy” he knows.
