Hunter Biden withdrew his motion for a new trial on July 9 after being convicted last month on federal gun charges and a day after prosecutors claimed that his request for a new trial was based on a misunderstanding of how the U.S. appeals court system works.

On Tuesday, Mr. Biden’s attorneys stated in a court filing with the U.S. District Court in Delaware that he is no longer requesting a new trial.
