Hunter Biden is seeking to dismiss his tax evasion and gun conviction cases by challenging the constitutionality of the special counsels appointed to prosecute him, drawing parallels to a case involving former President Donald Trump. The dismissal of Trump's charges due to an unconstitutional appointment of the special counsel led Hunter Biden's legal team to argue that a similar issue exists in his cases. Special Counsel David Weiss, who handled Biden's cases, is under scrutiny for not being Senate-confirmed, similar to the situation with Trump's case. Hunter Biden's lawyers are leveraging the constitutional concerns raised in Trump's case to seek the dismissal of the charges against him, citing violations of the Appointments Clause as the basis for their argument.
