A judge denied Hunter Biden’s request to push off his trial in California to September and instead said the proceedings would begin as scheduled on June 20.
Upon issuing the decision, Judge Mark Scarsi, a Donald Trump appointee, made Biden attorney Abbe Lowell vow to file no further delay requests, according to a CNN
Biden is facing nine charges brought by special counsel David Weiss over allegations he evaded taxes, failed to file taxes, and filed false returns during a four-year period beginning in 2016. The small victory for the first son in his tax trial comes after his legal team had been scrambling to ask for delays and dismissals of his charges in both California and his separate criminal gun case in Delaware.
The trial in Delaware is scheduled to begin on June 3, and Judge Maryellen Noreika, another Trump appointee, denied Biden’s attempt this month to delay it. Biden’s attorney Abbe Lowell hadthe judge at a hearing to push it out until at least July, citing a pending Supreme Court ruling that could affect the case and Lowell’s struggle to obtain expert witnesses who could testify for the defense.
