Hunter Biden, son of US President Joe Biden, plans to plead not guilty to the three criminal charges against him for having lied and assured that they were not using drugs when he bought a gun.
Abbe Lowell, one of Hunter Biden’s lawyers, revealed his client’s intention in a document filed Tuesday before Judge Christopher Burke in federal court in Delaware, where the case is being prosecuted.
By pleading not guilty, the case could go to trial, which means that the process would coincide fully with the campaign for the 2024 presidential elections, in which Joe Biden is running for re-election.
