Hunter Biden Requests New Federal Gun Trial Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has filed a motion requesting a new trial in his federal gun case. The motion was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware on Wednesday, December 7, 2022. Biden was indicted in October 2021 on a single count of making a false statement in connection with a firearm purchase. The charge stems from a 2018 incident in which Biden allegedly lied on a federal firearms form about his drug use. Biden’s first trial ended in a mistrial in December 2021. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict after deliberating for more than seven hours. In his motion for a new trial, Biden argues that the judge in his first trial made several errors that prejudiced his case. He claims that the judge should have excluded certain evidence and testimony, and that the judge gave improper instructions to the jury. Biden also argues that the prosecution withheld evidence that could have exonerated him. He claims that the prosecution failed to disclose that another individual was the actual purchaser of the firearm in question. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware has not yet filed a response to Biden’s motion. It is unclear at this time whether the court will grant Biden’s request for a new trial. If Biden is convicted of the charge against him, he faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison.Hunter Biden’s lawyers are requesting a retrial in his recently concluded federal gun charges case. They argue that the trial was conducted prematurely, as the federal appeals court had not formally authorized the trial court to proceed after dismissing Biden’s appeals.Hunter Biden’s lawyers are requesting a retrial in his recently concluded federal gun charges case. They argue that the trial was conducted prematurely, as the federal appeals court had not formally authorized the trial court to proceed after dismissing Biden’s appeals. On June 11, Biden was convicted on three counts related to lying about illegal drug use on a handgun purchase form in 2018. He became the first child of a sitting president to face a felony conviction. Biden’s defense had argued that the law under which he was charged was unconstitutionally vague and violated his Second Amendment rights. However, these arguments were dismissed by the jury in Wilmington, Delaware. Biden has maintained his innocence and intends to appeal the conviction. His father, President Joe Biden, has stated that he will not intervene in the sentencing process.Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has requested a new federal gun trial after his previous conviction was overturned due to prosecutorial misconduct. In 2018, Biden pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge after falsely stating on a federal form that he had not used or been addicted to illegal drugs within the past year. However, he later disclosed that he had smoked crack cocaine on multiple occasions in 2018. Biden’s attorney, Christopher Clark, argued that the prosecutor in the original case, Robert Hur, withheld evidence that could have helped Biden defend himself against the charge. Hur has denied the allegations. In June, a federal judge overturned Biden’s conviction, ruling that Hur had engaged in “serious misconduct.” The judge also ordered a new trial. Biden has now filed a motion requesting a new trial in a different jurisdiction, arguing that he cannot receive a fair trial in Delaware due to the publicity surrounding his case. The new trial is scheduled to begin on March 15.
