Special counsel David Weiss has alleged that he lied on a federal gun form about his drug use and that he possessed a firearm while using illegal narcotics.
U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika on Friday rejected a bid from first son Hunter Biden to dismiss gun charges against him.
Special counsel David Weiss has alleged that the now-first son lied on a federal gun form about his drug use and that he possessed a firearm while using illegal narcotics. He has pleaded not guilty.
Noreika rejected the first son's claims that the case was politically motivated in denying the motion for dismissal, according to the Associated Press.
Weiss brought the charges after Noreika expressed skepticism of a proposed plea agreement last year, taking issue with a pre-trial diversion agreement that could have permitted Biden to avoid prison time.
He is expected to face trial on June 3.
