WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The criminal tax trial for President Joe Biden's son Hunter, due to begin on Sept. 5 with sessions Tuesdays through Fridays, will hold a session on Monday, Sept. 9, in lieu of Friday, Sept. 13, the judge overseeing the trial said in a schedule update.
The Department of Justice charged Hunter Biden in December with failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019, while allegedly spending millions of dollars on drugs, escorts, exotic cars and other big-ticket items.
Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to the charges. In June he was convicted by a federal jury in Delaware on separate charges of lying about his illegal drug use to buy a gun. That made him the first child of a sitting U.S. president to be convicted of a crime.
