Hunter Biden is set to be sentenced on his gun crime convictions days after the 2024 election.
Hunter Biden is set to be sentenced on his gun crime convictions days after the 2024 election. Federal Judge Maryellen Noreika has scheduled the sentencing proceeding in Delaware’s federal court for November 13, according to an order from the court on Friday. Election Day is November 5. The timing keeps the consequence of Hunter Biden’s conviction hanging over the election season, as his father, President Joe Biden, is still likely to play a significant role politically even though he is no longer running for reelection. Hunter Biden faces a maximum sentence of up to 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000 at sentencing. He also faces an upcoming second federal criminal trial, on tax charges in California, that could complicate his sentencing. That trial is currently scheduled to take place in September. In Delaware’s federal court, a jury unanimously voted to convict Hunter Biden in June on three felony gun charges intended to prevent drug addicts from possessing firearms. He had bought a gun in October 2018 and told the gun shop he wasn’t addicted to or using drugs around the time of the purchase.
