WILMINGTON, Del.—A federal judge on May 24 issued several rulings setting parameters for the presentation of evidence in Hunter Biden’s upcoming trial on felony gun charges. Both the prosecution and defense won favorable rulings on motions.
U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika approved a motion from Mr. Biden, 54, to exclude references during the trial to his discharge from the U.S. Navy and child support proceedings of which he was part. She also granted motions to exclude references to tax fraud charges Mr. Biden faces in California and to bar prosecutors from describing his profligate spending as an “extravagant lifestyle.”
