The Department of Justice (DOJ) is leveraging the Supreme Court's Rahimi ruling to counter Hunter Biden's argument that his federal gun conviction violates his Second Amendment rights. Nearly two weeks after being convicted on three felony gun counts, Hunter Biden is seeking a new trial. His attorneys have filed a motion requesting a retrial on June 25, arguing that a judge's error and the Supreme Court's ruling should lead to a different outcome. The federal government has also renewed its request for the Supreme Court to review cases concerning the federal law barring felon gun possession, asserting on June 23 that the Rahimi decision does not resolve the existing circuit split.
