Hunter Biden's Gun and Tax Trials Set for June Amid Legal and Political Scrutiny

The president's son faces felony charges for lying about drug use in a firearm purchase, with his trial dates looming as his father's reelection campaign progresses.

Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, is set to stand trial on federal gun charges beginning June 3, with a separate trial on tax charges in California scheduled later in the month.
The Delaware federal judge, Maryellen Noreika, has yet to rule on several defense motions to dismiss the case, which could potentially derail the trial.
Hunter Biden faces three felony charges related to lying about his drug use when purchasing a firearm in 2018, with a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison if convicted.
The case has become a focal point of Republican scrutiny, with allegations of preferential treatment and implications for Joe Biden's reelection campaign.
Hunter Biden's legal team argues that the case should be dismissed due to a previously agreed plea deal and claims of discriminatory enforcement of the law.
