According to a Fox News report, Hunter Biden’s legal team filed for — and then quickly withdrew — a motion for a new gun trial on Monday.
From Fox News:
Biden’s legal team, led by attorney Abbe Lowell, filed a motion in Delaware federal court on Monday morning requesting a new trial, arguing the court lacked jurisdiction as two appeals in the case are still pending.
“The Third Circuit [appeals court], however, did not then and has not yet issued its mandate as to the orders dismissing either appeal,” Lowell wrote in the filing. “Thus, when this Court empaneled the jury on June 3, 2024 and proceeded to trial, it was without jurisdiction to do so.”
The motion, however, was quickly withdrawn from a court document website, Reuters reported.
“The Motion for a New Trial (formerly DI 233) has been deleted at the request of counsel,” a note filed on a docket website reads, calling it a “correcting entry,” the outlet reported.
Biden was found guilty last Tuesday of making a false statement in the purchase of a gun, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer, and possession of a gun by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.
