President Joe Biden’s son faces three felony counts stemming from a 2018 gun purchase when he was, according to his memoir, in the throes of a crack addiction.WILMINGTON, Del. — A jury was seated Monday in the federal gun case against President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, after prospective jurors were questioned about their thoughts on gun rights and drug addiction while the first lady watched from the front row of the courtroom.
The proceedings are unfolding just days after Donald Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, was convicted of 34 felonies in New York City. A jury found the former president guilty of a scheme to cover up a hush money payment to a porn actor to fend off damage to his 2016 presidential campaign. The two criminal cases are unrelated, but their proximity underscores how the courts have taken center stage during the 2024 campaign.
Another was excused because he was aware of the case and said, “It seems like politics is playing a big role in who gets charged with what and when.” But Noreika, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, questioned some unusual aspects of the deal, which included a proposed guilty plea to misdemeanor offenses to resolve the tax crimes and a diversion agreement on the gun charge, which meant as long as he stayed out of trouble for two years the case would be dismissed. The lawyers could not come to a resolution, and the deal fell apart.
