The federal judge who rejected Hunter Biden’s eight motions to dismiss his tax evasion charges highlighted deficiencies in a subsequent request to submit more material to bolster his arguments.

U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi of Los Angeles found that not only did the president’s son submit the filing late, after the judge had ruled, rendering the motion moot, but the supplemental materials would have been rejected regardless.
