A federal appellate court on May 28 rejected Hunter Biden’s appeal to have his felony gun charges dismissed as he faces trial in Delaware next week.

Mr. Biden is facing three counts of federal firearm offenses, which stem from his purchase and brief possession of a handgun in 2018 while struggling with drug addiction.
