In a significant development this week, a federal judge in Los Angeles has rejected Hunter Biden’s request to dismiss federal tax charges against him. The charges stem from allegations that Hunter Biden failed to pay taxes on income earned between 2014 and 2018.
The decision was handed down by U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi, who stated that the motion to dismiss the charges was without merit. Judge Scarsi’s ruling comes after a thorough review of the evidence presented by both the prosecution and the defense.
Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has been under intense scrutiny for his business dealings and personal life. The tax charges against him are part of a broader investigation into his financial affairs.

The rejection of Hunter Biden’s motion to dismiss the tax charges is a significant setback for him and his legal team. It remains to be seen how this development will impact the ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s financial affairs.
As the case continues to unfold, it is clear that the legal battle surrounding Hunter Biden is far from over.
In related news, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been accused of blocking federal investigators from interviewing a key associate of Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden.
The allegations were brought to light by a whistleblower, who informed committee leaders this week about the CIA’s alleged interference in the ongoing investigation.
In response to these allegations, House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) have written a letter to CIA Director William Burns, expressing their concerns about the agency’s actions.
The letter states, “According to the whistleblower, in August 2021, when IRS investigators were preparing to interview Patrick Kevin Morris, an associate of Hunter Biden, the CIA intervened to stop the interview. Two DOJ officials were allegedly summoned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia for a briefing regarding Mr. Morris. At that meeting, it was communicated that Mr. Morris could not be a witness during the investigation.”
