President Joe Biden’s son Hunter withdrew his motion for a new trial on Tuesday after a jury convicted him last month on federal gun charges.

The first son asked U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika last month for a new trial on the grounds that the federal court in Delaware did not have jurisdiction over his case. The argument centered on the claim that appeals Hunter Biden had filed ahead of his trial with the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had not been fully addressed.

Special counsel David Weiss recently told the court that the first son’s motion is “meritless.”

“[Hunter Biden’s] motion is based on his belief that prior to his trial, the Third Circuit was required to issue a formal mandate and therefore this Court somehow lacked jurisdiction even though the Third Circuit had held that it did not have jurisdiction,” Weiss had said.

“The defendant’s motion is meritless and is based on his apparent misunderstanding of appellate practice and his failure to read the Third Circuit’s Orders, issued before trial, which clearly stated ‘in Lieu of Mandate,’” the special counsel’s office added.
