Hunter Biden Files to Dismiss Gun Charges, Arguing ‘Vindictive Prosecution’ in One of 4 Motions

Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, filed four separate motions on Monday to dismiss a case charging him with three gun-related crimes.

In addition to the three gun crimes, Mr. Biden has been charged with nine tax crimes in California.
