Biden was indicted in September on three counts tied to possession of a gun while using narcotics.Efforts to have the case thrown out included arguments of selective and vindictive prosecution and that special counsel David Weiss was unlawfully appointed to oversee the case.The judge also rejected Biden’s contention that a pretrial agreement, which would have nixed the indictment and upcoming trial, was in effect.An attorney for Biden and Weiss’ office did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday night.The trial is scheduled to begin June 3 in Wilmington and last approximately a week, according to Noreika. Biden pleaded not guilty to the gun charges in October.The denied motions to dismiss came after a blanket rejection this month by a federal judge in California, where Biden faces tax-related charges, including three felony counts. He pleaded not guilty in January.Biden’s attorneys told the court on Friday that they were appealing those decisions in the 9th Circuit.Tom WinterTom Winter is a New York-based correspondent covering crime, courts, terrorism and financial fraud on the East Coast for the NBC News Investigative Unit.Sarah FitzpatrickSarah Fitzpatrick is a senior investigative producer and story editor for NBC News.
