Hunter Biden is desperately trying to throw out his criminal gun conviction charges and a separate tax evasion case by claiming the person prosecuting him was unlawfully appointed.
The younger Biden's lawyers referenced a federal judge's decision Monday dismissing charges against Donald Trump for illegally holding onto classified documents after office.
In that decision, Florida District Judge Aileen Cannon found the appointment of Jack Smith, the special counsel in the classified documents case, violated the Constitution because he was not authorized by Congress to pursue the charges.
The legal maneuver comes after the Supreme Court's decision weeks ago to grant Trump presidential immunity in the documents case in which Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that Smith was improperly appointed.
Smith's office is appealing the ruling.
'The Attorney General relied upon the exact same authority to appoint the Special Counsel in both the Trump and Biden matters, and both appointments are invalid for the same reason,' Biden's representation wrote in a court filing.
In June, another special counsel, David Weiss, secured Hunter Biden's conviction on charges he lied about his drug use when purchasing a firearm years ago during the height of his crack addiction.
That same special counsel is heading up a tax case against Hunter that is scheduled to begin in September.
The president's son has pleaded not guilty in that case.
Biden and his legal team's move highlights the potential impact the decision from Cannon could have on limiting the attorney general's capacity to appoint special counsel in sensitive political probes.
It also shows an eye-raising situation in which the president's son is utilizing a ruling that benefits Trump for his own good.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I dont think either President Trump or Justice Thomas owed taxes in CA and refused to pay them....
He is appealing the decisions. So yes.
Can he do that if he's invalid?
“Nobody is above law and nobody is below the law.”
That being said, he’s still a low life piece of crap . . .
But Hunter is a Son of the President. A high-ranking Government position in the Constitution at the same level as President and Supreme Court Justice.
“Weiss, on the other hand, was confirmed by the upper chamber to serve as the chief federal prosecutor in Delaware, meaning he has at least gotten approval from Congress to be a federal judge before being named special counsel. “ Writer is a little cnfused. Probably got the idea the judge is a prosecutor from watching DC trials and “judge” Merchan
hunter has a good point about the illegal special prosecutor ...
plus the check-box charge is essentially bogus anyway, since that particular issue is almost never (perhaps never) prosecuted ... the illegal special prosecutor selected this particular charge because it was the least damaging of the dozens of actual crimes hunter should have been charged with ...
and remember, the original offer to hunter was pretty much to let him off scot free, and the moron turned the offer down, so they were forced to charge him with SOMETHING, ANYTHING ...
Hunters special prosecutor was nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate as required by the constitution. There are no similarities between hunters special prosecutor and the insane Jack Smith, out of control, crazy eyes, nothing more than a regular citizen, special prosecutor.
Sure, Hunter. Have another snort.
David Weiss was US Attorney for Delaware when he was appointed as Special Counsel at his request. In other words, he was confirmed by the Senate.
Boy needs a bump.....
May be acting president.
Hunter, the clock is ticking. Just plead guilty to everything so your dad can give you a pardon. Before it’s too late.
Hunters special prosecutor was nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate as required by the constitution.
think again:
Perpetual parasite Hunter Biden is always mooching off
someone, usually working class taxpayers with families.
Now he’s sucking off the back of a wounded Trump.....
utilizing Trump’s S/C court ruling for himself.
The sooner we get rid of these user Bidens the better.
IIRC, he also did some financial hocus hocus at his law firm with initial child support to his baby mama
Don’t waste your breath, Hunter. Daddy is going to pardon you anyway.
Idiot knows he has no case. It’s absolutely absurd and the lawyers know it.
So what is the significance of the fact that the special counsel law has expired. Does that mean anything?
As far as Hunter is concerned. We didn’t nee any special prosecutor. Simply a good prosecutor in a normal court of law.
