How Hunter’s upcoming gun and tax trials are giving Joe a political headache as he could end up in JAIL before the election

The legal troubles plaguing President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, are intensifying as two cases against him are set to go to trial next month.

The timeline puts his illegally obtaining weapons and tax evasion charges in the spotlight as the 2024 presidential election season intensifies for his father.

This is the latest courtroom action that could have implications in the 2024 presidential election, as presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump also spends a lot of time in court and there is the possibility of more criminal trials this year.

Hunter Biden was charged with three counts of illegal possession of a firearm in Delaware. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison.

On Monday, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika dismissed the federal gun case against the president’s 54-year-old son, clearing the way for a June 3 trial to begin.

The trial is expected to take up to nine days.

Also next month, Hunter Biden could go on trial on the other coast in a tax evasion case. This process is scheduled to start on June 20.

If Biden is convicted in the case, he faces a maximum of 17 years in prison.

The timeline shows that the president’s son, if convicted in either trial, could face prison as his father seeks a second term in the White House.

POLITICO reports Biden’s advisers and family members are worried about the burden the trial will place on the president.

It was also written that the president expressed fear that his son might serve a prison sentence.

Hunter Biden is charged in Delaware on three counts in a gun case. He is accused of lying in October 2018 about drug use on a gun purchase form he kept for about 11 days.

Special prosecutor David Weiss filed gun charges in September, when Biden became the first child of a sitting president to be impeached.

Hunter Biden admitted he was struggling with a crack addiction at the time, but his lawyers argued he had not broken the law.

Last week, a federal appeals court also said the case could go to trial.

Hunter Biden’s attempts to dismiss another criminal case he faces in California involving tax charges also failed.

The investigation into the president’s son looked set to end last year with a plea deal that would have resulted in two years of probation after pleading guilty to misdemeanor tax charges.

However, the agreement fell apart when the judge, expected to approve the deal, instead raised further questions.

Instead, in January, Biden pleaded not guilty to paying federal taxes.

Biden is charged with nine felonies and tax offenses.

Federal prosecutors accuse the younger Biden of a four-year scheme to skip paying $1.4 million in taxes he owed the IRS from 2016 to 2019 and instead spend the money on his extravagant lifestyle, which included drugs and alcohol.

Republicans, including Donald Trump, criticized the original settlement that fell apart, calling it a “sweetheart deal.”

Hunter Biden’s lawyers sharply criticized the implosion of the deal, saying Congress interfered and accusing the special counsel of bowing to political pressure.

Under the original plea agreement, Hunter Biden would also have avoided gun charges if he had stayed out of trouble.

Ahead of the upcoming trials, Hunter Biden’s “sugar brother” Kevin Morris, 61, has reportedly been left cash-strapped after financially supporting Biden’s legal battles for the past four and a half years.

Morris decided to step in, believing Hunter had little support, and loaned him over $6.5 million.

However, Morris confirmed that he would no longer lend money to his first son to fight his legal disputes.

Hunter Biden’s troubles are not a new headache for the president. During the 2020 campaign, he was mercilessly attacked by Trump over his son’s business dealings and drug addiction.

In a unique moment in the first presidential debate of 2020, Biden talked about his son’s drug problem, “he solved it, he’s working on it and I’m proud of him.”

But it’s a new reality that the president’s son could face prison time this year as the president seeks a second term in the White House.

While presidents’ children and other family members have presented a number of challenges throughout history, imprisoning the child of a sitting president during the campaign is unprecedented.

Meanwhile, Trump has faced legal challenges this election season that have forced him to spend much of the last two months in a courtroom rather than on the campaign trail.

New York prosecutors may put their case in the hush money trial on hold next week. Jury deliberations could begin as early as next week as the former president faces 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Prosecutors accuse him of trying to cover up payments to a porn star.

He also faces charges in Georgia, Florida and Washington for election interference and mishandling secret documents after leaving office.

Trial dates in these cases have not yet been set and may be postponed indefinitely once Trump files his presidential bid.
