Federal prosecutors on Friday filed their opposition to efforts by Hunter Biden’s attorneys to dismiss tax-related charges filed against the president's son last year. Lawyers from special counsel David Weiss' office forcefully rejected Biden's assertion that the case against him was politically motivated and that prosecutors sought to appease congressional Republicans in bringing additional charges after a plea deal fell apart last year.
Biden’s attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday's filings. The special counsel’s office declined to comment. The judge overseeing the case told Biden's attorneys to respond to the special counsel's filings later this month. Attorneys for Biden had also argued last month that Weiss’ appointment as special counsel was unlawful.
