First son Hunter Biden’s trial on felony gun charges will tentatively begin June 3, a federal judge ruled Wednesday, ensuring the case will be a key subplot to his father’s re-election campaign.

Delaware US District Judge Maryellen Noreika set the date following a status conference with attorneys for the first son as well as prosecutors from special counsel David Weiss’ team.

Hunter Biden, 54, was indicted by Weiss Sept. 14 on three counts alleging the younger Biden lied about his addition to crack cocaine while filling out background check forms to purchase a firearm in 2018.

The first son has pleaded not guilty and demanded the case be dismissed on various grounds, claiming that Weiss was improperly appointed a special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland — as well as that a plea deal that was agreed to in the summer before falling apart remains in effect.
