WASHINGTON (AP) — A judge has refused to toss out a tax case against Hunter Biden, moving the case closer to the possible spectacle of a trial as his father campaigns for another term as president.

Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to the nine felony and misdemeanor tax offenses. His attorneys contended the prosecution is politically motivated, among other arguments seeking to have the case dismissed.
