Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, is facing significant legal challenges as two cases against him are set to go to trial next month. The timing of these trials, amidst the 2024 presidential election season, could have substantial implications for his father’s campaign.
Hunter Biden faces three charges related to illegal possession of a gun in Delaware. If convicted, he could face up to 25 years in prison. U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika recently rejected a motion to dismiss the case, clearing the way for the trial to begin on June 3. This trial is expected to last up to nine days.
In addition to the gun charges, Hunter Biden is also scheduled to stand trial for tax evasion in California starting June 20. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 17 years in prison. This case involves allegations that Biden failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes to the IRS between 2016 and 2019, opting instead to spend the money on an extravagant lifestyle.
The outcome of these trials could significantly impact President Biden’s re-election campaign. According to POLITICO, the president and his aides are concerned about the emotional and political weight these trials will place on him. There are fears within the family that Hunter Biden may face prison time.
Hunter Biden’s legal troubles began in September when Special Counsel David Weiss brought the gun charges. Biden is accused of lying about his drug use in October 2018 on a form to purchase a gun. He has admitted to struggling with addiction to crack cocaine during that period, but his lawyers argue he did not break the law.
The tax evasion case stems from accusations of a four-year scheme to avoid paying taxes. Biden initially reached a plea deal last year, which would have resulted in two years of probation for misdemeanor tax charges. However, the deal fell apart after a judge raised questions, leading Biden to plead not guilty to federal tax charges in January.
