(Daily Caller) Hunter Biden’s attorneys asked the judge on Tuesday to delay sentencing for his gun charges, noting some of his potential character witnesses are involved in the 2024 presidential campaign and current administration.
A Delaware jury convicted Biden on three felony gun charges in June. His attorneys asked the judge to postpone sentencing, currently scheduled for Nov. 13, for several weeks because there are “a variety of overlapping pre-sentencing tasks that need additional time to be completed for both the Delaware and California cases.”
Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to federal tax charges in California on Sept.5 just as his trial was set to begin, and the judge set his sentencing date for Dec. 16.
“Several people who plan to submit letters to both Courts as part of sentencing memoranda for Mr. Biden are short of time because they are presently involved in government work and travel with the current Administration, or are involved in the 2024 presidential campaign,” his attorneys wrote. “Once Mr. Biden’s counsel receives those letters, which may not be feasible well in advance, counsel needs time to incorporate them into pre-sentencing memoranda.”
His attorneys noted time will also be needed if there is any “live testimony” from certain individuals during the hearing. “Some of the possible in-person witnesses ‘ and the events that could occur right after that date,” his attorneys wrote.
Just in: @HunterBiden is trying to use his frivolous lawsuit against @MarcoPolo501c3 to delay his sentencing in Delaware for his 3 felony convictions. Pathetic. @attyal1977 is lazy & seems to think that @AmericanAir does not have direct flights from LAX to Philly.
