Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, is trying to pull a disappearing act on his tax and gun charges. In both the Delaware and California cases against him, Hunter is really crossing his fingers and hoping the appellate courts will swoop in and save the day. The guy’s like a magician but instead of pulling rabbits out of hats, he’s trying to make his legal troubles vanish into thin air.
In Delaware, Hunter tried to convince Judge Maryellen Noreika that his charges should be dropped faster than you can say “Abracadabra”! He claimed that a plea agreement that had already been withdrawn was still in effect and should protect him from getting slapped with three felony charges related to a 2018 gun purchase. But Judge Noreika, a wise appointee of former President Donald Trump, saw right through his tricks and denied all of Hunter’s requests. She didn’t buy into his hocus pocus claims about the appointment of the special counsel or his separation of powers argument.

Meanwhile, out in California, Hunter is also trying to make his tax charges disappear. He’s throwing the same arguments at Judge Mark Scarsi, another sharp Trump appointee, but it looks like Hunter’s magic wand is running out of tricks. The judge shut down all eight of his requests to drop the charges faster than you can say “Alakazam”!
While Hunter is busy playing legal games, the district court trials are still chugging along, with both set to take place in June. Hunter might be hoping for a fairy godmother to intervene, but for now, it looks like his legal troubles are here to stay. Sorry, Hunter, it looks like the disappearing act might not work out this time!
