A federal judge has agreed to postpone the sentencing of Hunter Biden for the three felony gun charges he was found guilty of in June.
The son of President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, is potentially facing a 25-year prison sentence for his crimes.
Last September, Hunter Biden was indicted on federal gun charges in a Delaware court. The charges relate to his possession of a firearm while under the influence of drugs.
Prosecutors were able to demonstrate that Hunter Biden was using crack cocaine at the time he acquired a firearm in 2018.
Text messages sent to Hallie Biden revealed that one day after illegally purchasing the gun on October 12, 2018, Hunter Biden arranged a drug deal with an individual known as “Mookie.”

A few days later, Hunter Biden went on a drug-fueled binge and passed out in his car.
Despite opposition from Special Counsel David Weiss, Judge Maryellen Noreika granted the request for a delay in Hunter’s sentencing.
The new sentencing date is now set for December 4.
According to The Hill:
A federal judge has agreed to postpone Hunter Biden’s first criminal sentencing by three weeks, now rescheduling it for December 4.
The initial sentencing date was already set after the election, but Hunter’s attorney requested a delay due to conflicts with his other legal battles.
Special Counsel David Weiss objected to the delay, but U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika promptly approved the request in a brief order.
Despite the delay, the legal troubles for Hunter Biden continue to mount as he faces the consequences of his actions.
