This excerpt contains only one paragraph.

The special counsel appointed to prosecute Hunter Biden for felony tax crimes in California is refusing a request from Hunter Biden’s attorney to have the case against the president’s son dismissed despite President Joe Biden issuing a blanket pardon for any federal crimes his son may have committed over the last decade. Hunter Biden’s attorney’s moved for dismissal of the charges Sunday evening.

In Monday response, special counsel David C. Weiss said the federal government opposes the request to dismiss Hunter Biden’s indictment, arguing that even when a defendant is pardoned by the president, no law or governing rule requires that the charges against that defendant be dismissed.
