Hunter Biden’s attorneys have asked the judge overseeing his tax case in California to delay the trial, which is set for June, until September or later.
Earlier this week, Biden lost his attempt to delay his federal gun trial in Delaware, with the district judge ruling the trial will continue as scheduled in June. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals this month rejected his bid to toss the gun charges.
Biden is accused of engaging in a tax conspiracy in his California case, which he is now asking to be delayed to allow time between the two trials.
His lawyers said in a filing that Biden’s counsel will be in Delaware for the other case until at least June 14. The California case is set to begin June 20, but the pretrial dates overlap.
“Mr. Biden needs a limited reprieve from the converging deadlines and is asking for the first time for a brief continuance,” his lawyers wrote.
Biden’s attorneys are asking the federal judge, Marc Scarsi, to push back the trial until Sept. 5. Scarsi said he would hear requests to modify the schedule on May 29.
