Hunter Biden

Hunter Biden's California tax fraud trial was originally scheduled to take place in June.

Washington — A federal judge in Los Angeles agreed Wednesday to postpone Hunter Biden's federal criminal trial on tax fraud charges until September.The case was originally scheduled to go to trial on June 20, but Biden's legal team asked the court for the delay. In court filings, his attorneys argued that a series of scheduling conflicts and pending appeals would overlap with his criminal case in Delaware, where he faces three felony gun charges and is expected to go to trial on June 3.

District Judge Mark Scarsi comes weeks before Biden is to stand trial in Delaware federal court on felony gun charges, also brought by Weiss' office. The president's son is accused of illegally owning a firearm while using illicit drugs. His attorneys have unsuccessfully tried several times to delay the trial. On Tuesday, the special counsel revealed his plans to call numerous witnesses as part of the gun case, including Hunter Biden's ex-wife and former girlfriends.
