 Hunter Biden is dropping his request for a new trial in his federal gun case. Mark Mayfield reports. The president's son was convicted of three counts related to lying about his drug addiction to obtain a firearm. His attorneys requested a new trial last month, arguing there was a procedural mistake that should have stopped the trial from moving forward. The legal team conceded on Tuesday, however. They misunderstood the situation and withdrew the request. Hunter is still pursuing several other challenges to his conviction.
