Just a few hours south of the Manhattan courthouse where Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s team is attempting to secure a guilty verdict in the first criminal trial of a former president, another high-profile trial is slated to begin this summer. That trial could also deliver a seismic verdict ahead of the 2024 election: a felony conviction for President Joe Biden’s son.
For weeks, the Manhattan courthouse has served as the de-facto center of Trump’s campaign as he dispatches daily remarks to press in the hallway ahead of entering the courtroom, where he is required to stay for the duration of the trial proceedings. While Trump’s trial has dominated headlines with salacious witness testimony, a gag order that prevents Trump from responding to political attacks by witnesses and an unclear central charge that has led many to criticize Bragg for bringing the case at all, Hunter Biden will face his own trial on felony gun charges next month.
Multiple advisors to the president anonymously told Politico Wednesday they are worried President Joe Biden will feel weighed down from his son’s trial, noting he has expressed fears his son will go to prison.
“He worries about Hunter every single day, from the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to sleep,” an advisor told the outlet. “That will only pick up during a trial.”
The judge overseeing Hunter Biden’s case rejected an attempt by his attorneys on Tuesday to postpone the start date to September. His attorneys told Judge Maryellen Noreika it has been difficult to find expert witnesses willing to testify due to the case’s nature, but she was not persuaded, telling attorney Abbe Lowell she did not need to be his “scheduling secretary,” according to Politico.
If he is not convicted of the “Lying on the Federal Gun form” charges, we will be able to show a duality in the justice system, lack of enforcement of the current laws. or more importantly, the infringement of 2A rights was nullified by the jury!
