Judge Denies Hunter Biden's Request for Virtual Court Appearance on Federal Gun Charges

Hunter Biden was indicted on federal gun charges related to purchasing a firearm while allegedly using drugs.
Hunter Biden's attorney requested a virtual initial court appearance, but federal prosecutors opposed, arguing for equal treatment.
The judge rejected Hunter Biden's request for a virtual hearing and ordered him to appear in person on October 3rd.
Hunter Biden intends to plead not guilty to the charges, after a previous plea deal related to tax charges fell through.
The charges carry a maximum possible sentence of up to 25 years in prison if Hunter Biden is convicted.
