Special Counsel urges judge to reject Hunter Biden's request to delay tax trial
Fox News
Special Counsel David Weiss has objected to Hunter Biden's request for his California tax trial to be delayed so he can stand trial in Delaware.
"No defendant would be afforded a continuance because he wrongly chose to lodge a jurisdictionless appeal, and this defendant should be treated no differently," the motion states." Defense counsel offers a handful of other reasons why he wants a trial delay of 77 days, but none of them warrant a continuance. The motion should be denied."

Weiss said Biden's attorney agreed in April 2023 to commence with the trial in Delaware, in which Biden is accused of federal gun charges, despite the tax trial being scheduled to begin on June 20. The Delaware proceeding is expected to begin June 3.
