‘Nothing more than a transparent attempt to delay’: Special counsel excoriates Hunter Biden’s gun trial gambit, repeatedly calls appeal of judge’s rejection ‘frivolous’

Special counsel David Weiss urged the judge overseeing the Delaware-based federal gun case against Hunter Biden not to allow the defense to delay proceedings in a pointed motion filed late Friday.

On Wednesday, attorneys for President Joe Biden’s son asked to indefinitely stay proceedings pending the outcome of an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit — imploring U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika not to “plow ahead in scheduling a trial.”

In that request, the younger Biden characterized the government’s efforts to move forward with the case as “unlawful and illogical.”
