In a recent development in Wilmington, Delaware, a federal appeals court panel dismissed Hunter Biden's attempt to dismiss criminal gun charges, thus paving the way for his trial scheduled to commence on June 3rd. This marks a historic event as it will be the first trial involving the child of a sitting president.


The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia denied Hunter Biden's appeal, citing that the lower court had not yet finalized its judgment in the case. Following this decision, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika set the trial to span up to six days starting on June 3rd.


Hunter Biden's legal team expressed intentions to seek a review of the panel's decision by the full appeals court in Philadelphia, emphasizing the significance of the issues at hand.


The charges against Hunter Biden include allegations of lying about his use of illegal narcotics during the purchase of a Colt Cobra handgun in 2018, as well as illegally possessing the weapon. If convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.


This trial unfolds amidst Joe Biden's reelection campaign, adding another layer of significance to the proceedings. Concurrently, in New York, former President Donald Trump is facing a criminal trial concerning alleged illegal actions related to a payment made to a porn star before the 2016 election. Additionally, Hunter Biden is also confronting criminal tax charges in California.
