apnews.com/article/hunter-biden-dismiss-federal-gun-case-ccc77cf35e8c2626edd3d94479abe3ec
Quick Glance: Judge Denies Hunter Biden's Attempt to Dismiss Federal Gun Charges
- A judge in Delaware has denied attempts by President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden to dismiss three federal gun charges, all but ensuring a trial will move forward this summer.
- Hunter Biden's lawyers had pinned their hopes for dismissal largely on the belief that an immunity provision in their plea agreement, which eventually collapsed, was validated upon both parties signing it. However, Weiss' office contended that the agreement necessitated approval from a probation officer, a requirement that was never fulfilled.
- This ruling signifies another legal setback for Hunter Biden following a federal judge in California recently rejecting similar objections to a nine-count indictment related to tax offenses. The trial for this case is anticipated to commence shortly after the Delaware gun case.
- Hunter Biden also alleged that Weiss succumbed to political pressure from Republicans and former President Donald Trump. Nonetheless, Noreika delivered a scathing criticism.

- Homer Laffoon, Anne Heche's eldest child, is reportedly unable to pay his late mother's debts.
- Heche's estate reportedly consists of a 'modest bank account, royalty payments, and other residual income from pre-death projects,' as well as some business arrangements related to her career and a podcast.
- Despite ongoing appraisals of Heche's assets, at least seven creditors have filed suit against her estate, including Jennifer and John Durand, as well as Lynne Mishele who was living in their house at the time of the crash.
- Laffoon, as the administrator of Heche's estate, expressed optimism that creditor claims can be resolved fairly, but there are challenges due to insufficient funds to settle lawsuits from Heche's accident.
