Hunter Biden will tentatively head to trial in early June over allegations he illegally purchased a firearm in 2018, a federal judge in Delaware said Wednesday.
Judge Maryellen Noreika said during a conference call that the trial would have an approximate start date of June 3, but she cautioned that pending motions and Biden’s other, unrelated trial in California, which is set to begin at the end of June, could affect that.
The parties agreed that the trial in the gun case would take about one week. A prosecutor for special counsel David Weiss had asked for a May trial, while Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, said that if his client “were ever to have to go forward” with a trial, then early June would be acceptable.
Weiss charged the first son last September with three felonies, alleging he lied on a gun form about his drug use to purchase a revolver and that he then retained the firearm unlawfully for several days.
