The judge overseeing Hunter Biden’s California tax fraud case has leveled the threat of sanctions against the defense for a recent court filing that aimed to dismiss the indictment in its entirety.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Mark C. Scarsi issued a 4-page show cause order chiding the attorneys representing President Joe Biden’s son “for making false statements in the motion” and directing them to explain “why sanctions should not be imposed.”

On July 18, Biden’s attorneys moved to dismiss two indictments in two jurisdictions — still-pending Golden State tax fraud charges and federal gun charges in Delaware for which he has already been convicted.

Since former President Donald Trump recently won a significant reprieve from special counsel Jack Smith’s oversight via the novel invocation of the Appointments Clause, and to a lesser extent the Appropriations Clause, of the U.S. Constitution — in the form of the Mar-a-Lago documents case being dismissed — Biden should also be granted a selfsame reprieve from the prosecutorial reach of special counsel David Weiss, the substantially similar motions argued.
