WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — A judge in Delaware has denied a request by Hunter Biden’s lawyers to delay his federal gun trial set for next month. The judge Tuesday rejected Hunter Biden’s request to delay the trial until September, which his lawyers said was necessary to give the defense time to line up witnesses and go through evidence from prosecutors. The trial is slated to start June 3. President Joe Biden’s son is accused of lying about his drug use in 2018 on a form to buy a gun he kept for about 11 days. Later Tuesday, a three-judge panel of a federal appeals court said the tax case against him can also move forward. That case is is scheduled to go to trial in California on June 20.
