First son Hunter Biden\u2019s legal problems are about to reach a crescendo in the coming months, which will add new anxieties for his family even as his father, President Joe Biden, eases his way out of the White House and into retirement.<\/p>\n
On Friday, the federal judge presiding over his gun case set his sentencing hearing for November, roughly a week after the election.<\/p>\n
In June, Hunter Biden made history as the first son of a sitting president to be criminally convicted. He was found guilty on three charges related to a 2018 gun purchase: lying on a federal form about his drug use to obtain a firearm, submitting a false statement into federal records, and unlawfully possessing the firearm for 11 days. He will appear at a Wilmington, Delaware, federal courthouse on Wednesday, November 13, for his sentencing, eight days after the presidential election.<\/p>\n
The court filing detailing the court date also included additional instructions on logistics, such as the deadlines for submitting the presentence report and guidelines for communicating with the probation officer, the Washington Examiner reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cBiden\u2019s legal troubles didn\u2019t end with the gun trial, however. He will head to court next month over a federal tax evasion trial in California, where he faces six felony and three misdemeanor charges,\u201d the outlet added.<\/p>\n U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi, a Trump appointee, \u201chas scheduled a hearing for Aug. 21 to review the various requests about what evidence and testimony to permit at trial, while the trial itself is set to begin on Sept. 9.\u201d<\/p>\n One of the 12 jurors who voted to convict<\/a> Hunter Biden on three felony counts related to an illegal gun purchase revealed what led them all to their decision following the June trial.<\/p>\n A juror who spoke to the\u00a0New York Post<\/a>\u00a0said that messages between Hunter Biden and Hallie Biden, who was the wife of his late brother, Beau Biden, with whom Hunter had a fling, were important in showing Hunter\u2019s state of mind and condition at the time he bought the gun.<\/p>\n \u201c[The text messages showed], in my opinion, he was training to get drugs,\u201d said a juror whom the outlet described as a black 51-year-old woman from upper Delaware.<\/p>\n In her testimony during the trial, Hallie Biden was presented with a text message from October 13, 2018, which was one day after Hunter Biden purchased the gun. The text indicated that he was sitting in a car, waiting for a crack dealer named Mookie. Hallie testified that she believed \u201cthat he was buying crack cocaine.\u201d A text the following day from Hunter said he was smoking crack and sleeping in a car.<\/p>\n According to the juror and others on the panel, a series of damning text messages between the first son and his sister-in-law were key to convicting him.<\/p>\n Two of Hunter\u2019s former business partners, meanwhile, have jumped<\/a> on the Trump Train.<\/p>\n Tony Bobulinski and Devon Archer were both business partners of first son Hunter, but not in the same businesses. The two men had never met each other until they started assisting investigations into Hunter\u2019s business dealings and now they are close friends. The assassination attempt against Trump on July 13 are what finally convinced them to support the former president.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been on the sidelines as a truth-teller for over a year,\u201d Archer, Hunter\u2019s former partner in Rosemont Seneca Partners and a friend from his Yale days, said. \u201cAfter the events of Saturday, I\u2019ve decided it\u2019s time to get on the field because the truth matters,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Hunter Biden \u201clooks kind of defeated. He looks kind of helpless to me,\u201d the juror said. \u201cI think he just needs to get away somewhere and get some real rehab if he hasn\u2019t. Hopefully, he\u2019s still not using.\u201d<\/p>\n The Post reported that although the verdict was reached quickly on Tuesday, it didn\u2019t seem that way on Monday following an informal vote, according to another juror. The juror noted that five jury members changed their minds overnight. Also, The Post noted that the final juror was uncertain Hunter was using crack at the time of the gun purchase, but reviewed the evidence again and concluded that he was.<\/p>\n The Delaware juror said the group \u201cworked together really well.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Judge Sets Sentencing Date For Hunter Biden Over Gun Charges<\/a> appeared first on Conservative Brief<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First son Hunter Biden\u2019s legal problems are about to reach a crescendo in the coming months, which will add new anxieties for his family even as his father, President Joe Biden, eases his way out of the White House and into retirement.
