Hunter Biden’s lawyers plan to revisit his “immunity” arguments with an appeals panel after a judge rejected his motion to dismiss his gun-related charges in Delaware, according to a notice of appeal filed with a district court on Wednesday.

Following the unfavorable ruling on April 12, Mr. Biden filed a notice of interlocutory appeal with the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware on April 17.
