Daniel Barnes reports for NBC News, based in Washington.
Hunter Biden is asking a federal appeals court to postpone his trial on gun charges that's scheduled to start next month in Delaware. An attorney for the president's son filed the request to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday — two weeks before the trial is set to get underway in Wilmington. A three-judge panel already rejected Biden’s request to overturn the trial judge's rejection of several motions to dismiss the case.
He simultaneously asked the full bench of the 3rd Circuit to reconsider Biden's previous appeal concerning motions to dismiss the indictment on various grounds. Biden was indicted in September on federal charges that he had a gun when he was using narcotics, including allegations that he submitted a form falsely stating he was not using illegal drugs when he bought the revolver in 2018. He pleaded not guilty in October. In a separate case, Biden faces federal tax charges.
