Hunter Biden gun trial to begin next month after judge denies bid to delay

President’s son, 54, charged with three offenses related to questions about drug use when buying firearm in 2018

Hunter Biden’s federal gun case is set to go to trial next month, a judge said on Tuesday, formally denying a bid by Biden’s lawyers to delay prosecution on three gun firearms charges.

The US district judge Maryellen Noreika, who threw out a plea-deal agreement between Biden and the US government in August, rejected Biden’s request to push the trial until September.
