Hunter Biden withdraws bid for retrial after felony conviction

President Joe Biden’s son Hunter withdrew his motion for a new trial on Tuesday after a jury convicted him last month on federal gun charges.

The first son asked U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika last month for a new trial on the grounds that the federal court in Delaware did not have jurisdiction over his case. The argument centered on the claim that appeals Hunter Biden had filed ahead of his trial with the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had not been fully addressed.
