Hunter Biden’s Attorneys Ask Judge To Delay Sentencing So Biden-Harris Admin Officials Can ‘Submit Letters’ In Support

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.”

Judge allows Hunter Biden to delay sentencing in gun case

A federal judge agreed to let Hunter Biden delay sentencing Thursday in his first criminal case by three weeks, rescheduling the hearing for Dec. 4.

Biden was scheduled to face sentencing for a three-count felony conviction for illegally possessing a firearm while addicted to crack cocaine, but his attorney requested to delay the previous Nov. 13 date due to conflicts involving other legal disputes.

The request was approved by U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika despite opposition from special counsel David Weiss.

Defense attorney Abbe Lowell cited conflicts, including his scheduled representation of Biden in a civil lawsuit in California on Nov. 12.

Biden will also be sentenced on Dec. 16 in a separate criminal case after pleading guilty to nine tax-related charges earlier this month in California. With his guilty plea, Biden avoided a nearly two-week trial that would have included testimony from key witnesses, including his ex-girlfriends.
