Hunter Biden's 'Bizarre' Court Filing Shredded by Legal Analyst

Hunter Biden's recent legal filing in a federal gun charge case has one legal analyst publicly slamming the "bizarre" references made in the document.

Hunter Biden is currently facing three federal gun charges related to his lying about his drug use on a federal form to purchase a handgun in October 2018. He kept the gun for 11 days. Prosecutors later argued that cocaine residue was found on the pouch used to hold Hunter Biden's gun and cited this as a reason for the judge not to dismiss the case in the past. Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty.

On Tuesday, Hunter Biden's defense team argued that the charges against him should be dismissed, claiming that he is being "targeted" because he is the son of President Joe Biden, the rival of former President Donald Trump, who is expected to secure the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election. However, Jonathan Turley, an attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School, noticed several seemingly odd references in the filing.

Newsweek reached out to Hunter Biden's attorney Abbe Lowell by email for comment.

"In his bizarre filing comparing himself to famous dead children in history, Hunter refers to Hector, the son of the King of Troy as "murdered" by Odysseus. It was actually Achilles and it was a fair fight. Will the National Hellenic Society move to strike?" Turley posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday morning.

In another post on X, Turley referenced other aspects of the document.

"Hunter draws comparisons with the children of undocumented migrants, dead Tsars, and Japanese internment camp victims. It then gets really weird..." he posted, including a link to a column he wrote about the filing.

"...Hunter even quotes the dissent in the infamous Korematsu v. United States in describing how the government in that case was attempting 'to make an otherwise innocent act a crime merely because this prisoner is the son of parents as to whom he had no choice, and belongs to a race from which there is no way to resign.'"

Turley wrote in an opinion published on Wednesday in the New York Post andslammed the filing as "delusional." He also took a shot at Hunter Biden's lawyer, Abbe Lowell.

Lowell argued that the younger Biden is suffering from the "burden" of parentage, according to Turley, and proceeded to cite a case that involved granting free education to children of illegal immigrants, as the Constitution, "prevents the government from inflicting harm on children for the conduct of their parents."

"That's right, Joe Biden is like an undocumented migrant father who carried his kid over the border for a better life," Turley wrote.

The filing argued that although "children of politically powerful individuals enjoy great privilege," they also "often become the targets of animus for that very reason."

In addition to the firearms charges, Hunter Biden is facing federal tax counts from another Department of Justice (DOJ) case in which he's accused of evading at least $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019. The nine-count indictment includes three felonies and six misdemeanors including failure to file and pay taxes, false tax returns and evasion of assessment. Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
