Hunter Biden's legal team seeks dismissal of tax and gun cases, citing unconstitutionality of Special Counsel appointment like Trump's.

Hunter Biden's legal team has asked federal judges to dismiss tax and gun cases against him, citing the recent dismissal of a case involving former President Donald Trump. Biden's lawyers argue that the appointment of Special Counsel David Weiss was unconstitutional because he was not Senate-confirmed, as was the case with Trump's Special Counsel Jack Smith. Both men were prosecuted by special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland. The Department of Justice announced this week that it plans to appeal Judge Aileen Cannon's ruling which dismissed the Trump case on similar grounds.
