Hunter Biden’s trial for felony gun charges is scheduled to take place during the week of June 3.
President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, faced legal trouble last September when he was indicted by a federal grand jury. The charges were related to his purchase of a firearm in October 2018, during a time when he was a drug user. Court filings revealed that the grand jury in Delaware returned an indictment against Hunter Biden, accusing him of three felony counts. These charges stemmed from his possession of a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver, which he unlawfully possessed for 11 days in October 2018, according to prosecutors.
The prosecutors from special counsel David Weiss’ office anticipate that their case will span approximately four days, while Abbe Lowell, the attorney representing Hunter Biden, stated that the defense will likely require two days.
During a telephonic meeting on Wednesday, Judge Maryellen Noreika informed the parties involved that she is currently reviewing several motions, including Hunter Biden’s motions to dismiss the case. She assured them that she will issue a ruling once she has completed her review.
However, Lowell believes that the case will not go to trial. He anticipates that the judge will rule in favor of Hunter Biden on his motion to dismiss. Lowell’s confidence in this outcome stems from the diversion and plea agreement that has already been issued.
Hunter Biden is expected to potentially face charges in late June in a separate trial in California related to a tax case. He has pleaded not guilty in both cases and is currently seeking to have all charges dismissed.
