Hunter Biden's lawyers, prosecutors spar over evidence in pretrial hearing

Los Angeles — In a preliminary hearing held Wednesday, prosecutors in Hunter Biden's federal tax case and his defense attorneys sparred over what evidence can be submitted as the case moves closer to its Sept. 5 start date. 

Mark Geragos, a new addition to Hunter Biden's legal counsel, accused prosecutors of trying to turn the case into a "character assassination." 

"If they want to try this case…on the facts, the evidence of the law, we're very hopeful," Geragos said.
