Special Counsel Rejects Hunter Biden's Bid to Subpoena Trump in Gun Case

Special counsel David Weiss has opposed Hunter Biden's request to subpoena former President Donald Trump and members of his administration as part of his defense against federal gun charges. Weiss argued that Biden's subpoena requests are "likely inadmissible" and for "non-specific categories of documents" on actions and motives of those who did not make prosecutorial decisions in the case. Biden's counsel argues that the case against their client is "vindictive or selective prosecution" that arose from "an unrelenting pressure campaign" that began with the Trump administration. Weiss rebutted that Biden failed to provide evidence of bias or discriminatory intent and that none of those he wishes to subpoena were involved in the decision to charge him.
