A federal judge in California has decided against Hunter Biden’s request to dismiss his tax-related charges on Monday, allowing the criminal case to proceed.

Hunter Biden’s defense argued last month that the prosecution was politically motivated, implicating two IRS agents who later emerged as whistleblowers. Despite their efforts, Judge Mark Scarsi found the defense’s claims unconvincing. He criticized the lack of concrete evidence presented, stating, “The motion is remarkable in that it fails to include a single declaration, exhibit, or request for judicial notice. Instead, Defendant cites portions of various Internet news sources, social media posts, and legal blogs. These citations, however, are not evidence.”

The judge added that Biden’s legal team failed “to present a reasonable inference, let alone clear evidence, of discriminatory effect and discriminatory purpose.” This comes after Hunter Biden’s plea to dismiss the case due to “outrageous government conduct.”
