Prosecutors Reject Effort to Exclude Foreign Influence Evidence in Hunter Biden Tax Case

Federal prosecutors in the tax evasion case against Hunter Biden have opposed an effort by his legal team to exclude evidence allegedly showing how foreign interests hired him to influence the U.S. government while his father was vice president.

In a court filing dated Aug. 7, the U.S. Department of Justice said it also plans to present the alleged evidence at Biden’s upcoming trial.

The filing was in response to a pre-trial motion from Biden’s legal team seeking to exclude the political corruption allegations against him.
