'How are they responsible?' Judge sceptical of Hunter Biden political pressure tax case claim

Hunter Biden, son of US President Joe Biden, and his lawyer Abbe Lowell depart a House Oversight Committee meeting at Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Judge Mark Scarsi expressed scepticism over that argument.

At a hearing in federal court in Los Angeles, US District Judge Mark Scarsi asked whether Hunter Biden's lawyers had any evidence that prosecutors had caved to pressure from Republicans, other than the fact that they filed charges after months of accusations by Republicans in Congress and former president Donald Trump that he had been treated leniently.Lowell acknowledged that"it's a timeline, but it's a juicy timeline.

Hunter Biden, the first child of a sitting president to face criminal charges, also faces a separate criminal case in federal court in Delaware over his alleged purchase of a handgun while he was using illegal drugs. Special Counsel David Weiss, who brought both cases, has accused Hunter Biden's legal team of spreading"conspiracy theories" about the prosecution.
