Trump cites Hunter Biden pardon in motion to dismiss New York criminal case

Donald Trump's lawyers pointed to an unlikely person in demanding a judge dismiss the president-elect's New York criminal case: Hunter Biden.

Trump's attorneys said in a court filing made public Tuesday that President Biden's controversial pardon of his son echoed Trump's complaints about the prosecution.

"Yesterday, in issuing a 10-year pardon to Hunter Biden that covers any and all crimes whether charged or uncharged, President Biden asserted that his son was 'selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,' and 'treated differently,'" they wrote, before claiming Trump was treated similarly.
