Hunter Biden withdraws motion for new trial in gun case

Lawyers for President Joe Biden's son had requested a new trial last month because they said a federal appeals court did not give the trial court a formal green light to proceed after dismissing his appeals.

Federal prosecutors said Biden's motion was based on "an apparent misunderstanding of appellate practice" in a court filing on Monday, which prompted the withdrawal.

Biden has denied wrongdoing, and his lawyers have said he will appeal the conviction.
