Maryellen Noreika, the judge involved in Hunter Biden’s felony gun charges case, has agreed to postpone Hunter’s sentencing to December, according to a Thursday order.

The sentencing was initially scheduled for November 13th, however, Hunter’s attorneys claimed that they needed more time to prepare, as several individuals are expected to submit letters on Hunter’s behalf, but they are currently busy working for the “current administration” and Harris’s 2024 campaign.
Following the judge’s motion, Hunter’s court date has now been moved to December 4th.
“Given all the pre-sentencing tasks necessary to adequately prepare for Mr. Biden’s Delaware sentencing, much of which overlap with his sentencing in the California case scheduled for December 16, 2024 and other litigation deadlines, it will be very difficult for Mr. Biden’s counsel to be ready for the sentencing on November 13, 2024,” the filing read.
Hunter’s sentencing follows after he was convicted in June of three felonies for a 2018 gun purchase, where he lied on federal forms. The first son falsely claimed that he not using or addicted to illegal drugs during the time of the purchase.
Although court documents show that Special counsel David Weiss opposed the sentencing delay, Judge Noreika swiftly agreed to the defense’s request.
The president’s son is now facing up to 25 years in prison for the gun charges, although, due to his status and influence, he will likely serve much less time than anticipated, if any time at all.
Additionally, in an unrelated case, Hunter is also required to attend another sentencing on December 16th for federal tax charges, which he pled guilty to earlier this month. Hunter is facing up to 17 years in prison for the tax charges and up to $1.35 million in fines.
“I will not subject my family to more pain, more invasions of privacy and needless embarrassment,” Hunter stated. “For all I have put them through over the years, I can spare them this, and so I have decided to plead guilty.”
