As one historic trial concludes, another high-profile trial is set to begin with jury selection in Hunter Biden's Delaware case scheduled for Monday. The first son faces accusations of providing false information about his drug use while purchasing a gun in 2018, making him the first child of a sitting president to face criminal charges.
The trial is expected to kick off with three felony charges against Hunter Biden. Special counsel David Weiss's team plans to introduce evidence from Hunter's laptop, despite efforts by the defense to exclude it. This laptop, previously linked to allegations of Russian disinformation, will now be presented as a trial exhibit, with the special counsel asserting its authenticity and relevance to the case.
During a recent court appearance, Hunter's attorney hinted at a defense strategy suggesting possible tampering with the gun form in question, despite Hunter's signature on it. The judge has ruled out the mention of Hunter's other legal issues, such as his tax case in California and child support case in Arkansas, to focus solely on the current charges.
Judge Mary Ellen Nureyka, who presided over a previous plea deal that was rejected, is overseeing the upcoming trial. While a last-minute plea deal remains a possibility, both sides appear prepared for the commencement of jury selection on Monday, signaling the start of what is anticipated to be a two-week trial.
