Hunter Biden has asked a federal court to delay proceedings in his felony gun trial, citing constitutional questions related to his connection to illicit drugs in this indictment, violations of his First Amendment rights, and a scheduling conflict with his California tax charge case, according to court papers filed May 20.

Mr. Biden’s latest request with the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals Court in Delaware asks for a rehearing before the court’s full panel of 14 judges, claiming that “three new developments have occurred” since his bid was rejected by a panel of three judges in that court on May 9.
