The legal filing, submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, states that no legal precedent mandates the dismissal of an indictment simply due to a pardon, even if it was granted by the president.
Hunter Biden had been convicted this year of federal charges related to tax evasion and illegal possession of a firearm. The charges carry combined penalties of up to 42 years in prison.
Following the pardon, Biden's legal team submitted a motion arguing that the "Full and Unconditional Pardon" necessitates dismissal of the charges with prejudice, effectively ending the case.
But prosecutors, led by special counsel David Weiss, countered this assertion. "A pardon does not blot out guilt or expunge a judgment of conviction," the filing stated while citing past rulings such as United States v. Steven Bannon. They emphasized that a pardon removes the punishment but does not invalidate the legal basis for an indictment.
The prosecutors' opposition draws on historical practice and judicial precedent. They highlighted cases like United States v. Urlacher, where pardoned individuals were administratively terminated from court records rather than having their charges dismissed outright.
