A judge delayed Hunter Bidenâs sentencing date for his felony gun charges to December, according to a Thursday order.
Judge Maryellen Noreika granted Hunter Bidenâs request to postpone his sentencing, which was initially scheduled for Nov. 13, moving the hearing to Dec. 4. His attorney told the judge this week they needed more time to prepare, citing other deadlines in Bidenâs civil cases and noting several individuals who plan to submit letters on his behalf are busy traveling with the âcurrent Administrationâ or working on the 2024 presidential campaign.
âGiven all the pre-sentencing tasks necessary to adequately prepare for Mr. Bidenâs Delaware sentencing, much of which overlap with his sentencing in the California case scheduled for December 16, 2024, and other litigation deadlines (described below), it will be very difficult for Mr. Bidenâs counsel to be ready for sentencing on November 13, 2024,â the filing stated.
The filing also noted that âsome of the possible in-person witnesses may not be available until after November 5 and the events that could occur right after that date.â
A Delaware jury found Hunter Biden guilty on three felony gun charges in June.
Earlier this month, Hunter Biden also pleaded guilty to six misdemeanor and three felony counts in his tax case, just as the trial was slated to begin. He faced charges for failing to pay over $1.4 million in taxes while spending large sums on his âextravagant lifestyle.â
His sentencing in California is scheduled for Dec. 16.
