The judge presiding over the federal gun case against Hunter Biden has tentatively scheduled a June trial for the criminal charges against the president's son.
During a scheduling conference in Delaware, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika on Wednesday said she planned to start the trial the week of June 3.
In the hearing, prosecutors and Biden's attorneys said the trial would likely take a maximum of nine days — one or two days for jury selection, three to five days for the prosecution to present its case and one to two days for the defense.
"The actual trial days and length of trial will be determined at a later date," a posting on the court docket read after the hearing.
Biden was indicted in September on three counts tied to possession of a gun while using narcotics. Two of the counts accuse him of having completed a form falsely indicating he was not using illegal drugs when he bought a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018, and the third alleges he possessed a firearm while using a narcotic.
