Hunter Biden is pushing for a delay in his federal gun trial, asking an appeals court to pause the Delaware trial set to begin next month. Defense attorneys argued on Monday, May 20, 2024, that there is no urgent need to start the trial on June 3, shortly before the scheduled start of a new trial on tax charges in California.
