Los Angeles CNN —A federal judge appeared skeptical of Hunter Biden’s arguments Wednesday that his indictment on tax charges from special counsel David Weiss should be dismissed after his plea deal fell apart last year. But US District Judge Mark Scarsi suggested in court that he thinks the terms of that deal - including the immunity - never kicked in. This is one of several legal bids by Hunter Biden’s lawyers to throw out the tax case in California. Hunter Biden’s lawyers are putting forward “fact-free” arguments and “revisionist history,” prosecutor Leo Wise said. Special counsel David Weiss is in the courtroom watching the hearing, which is ongoing.

LOS ANGELES — Hunter Biden, the last surviving son of President Joe Biden, pleaded not guilty to nine tax-related charges during his arraignment in federal court on Thursday. Follow along for live updatesThe arraignment came just over a month after Hunter Biden was indicted in the Central District of California on allegations that he failed to pay his taxes. That charge, which federal authorities have used as a catch-all charge against domestic extremists, is facing court challenges. On Wednesday, Hunter Biden made a surprise appearance at a circus-like hearing on the day that Republicans formally recommended that the House hold him in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena for testimony. Hunter Biden has said he would testify publicly, but House Republicans have demanded that he testify behind closed doors.
