U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi on Monday denied all eight of Hunter Biden's motions to dismiss the nine federal tax charges he faces in California.
At a hearing last week, Hunter Biden's attorney primarily argued that the charges against him were part of a politically fueled prosecution. Special counsel David Weiss' office rebutted those claims, arguing politics had no bearing on the facts of the case.
Judge Scarsi also appeared skeptical of Biden's arguments. In his order Monday, Scarsi said Biden failed to provide "clear evidence" of discriminatory purpose and provided only "conjecture" about prosecutorial decisions made in the case.
