CNN — Hunter Biden’s trial on tax charges has been moved to September 5, after the judge presiding over the case made Biden’s attorney promise he would not seek further delays.

In asking for a delay in the case, Abbe Lowell, an attorney for Biden, cited issues with discovery, witnesses and obtaining experts in the case, as well as the upcoming trial on federal gun crimes in Delaware, which is set for June 3.

Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has been accused of engaging in a tax-avoidance conspiracy for several years as he funded a lavish lifestyle as well as purchasing and possessing a firearm while using illegal drugs. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Right before the election!? Makes perfect sense! Thanks spineless Garland. Also, donald dump avoids paying, how much is it now? Maybe a billion dollars in back taxes and fines? Fucking joke. This'll be their 30,000 emails moment. Joe 2024 will deal with this but it's still total bullshit. Go Joe!!!
