Hunter Biden’s lawyers are pressing a judge to delay his federal tax trial that’s set to begin next month in Los Angeles. The president’s son is seeking to push the June 20 trial date back until at least September. They have noted that he is also scheduled to stand trial in Delaware beginning June 3 on federal firearms charges.

FILE - Hunter Biden walks to board Air Force One at John F. Kennedy International Airport, March 29, 2024, in New York. Hunter Biden’s lawyers are pressing a judge to delay his trial on federal tax charges that’s set to begin next month in Los Angeles. FILE - Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, speaks during a news conference outside the Capitol, Dec. 13, 2023, in Washington.

In pressing for the delay, Hunter Biden’s lawyers noted the “uniquely challenging and high-profile nature of this case” as well as “the fact Mr. Biden and the same counsel will be starting trial in Delaware just two and a half weeks before this trial is set to begin.” The indictment alleges that Biden failed to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes over four years while living an “extravagant lifestyle” during a period in which he has acknowledged struggling with addiction. The back taxes have since been paid.
