The trial of Hunter Biden for criminal possession of a firearm will resume on Monday morning in Wilmington, Delaware, with the possibility of jurors reaching a verdict on the son of President Joe Biden by the afternoon.
In the morning, it will be disclosed whether 54-year-old Hunter Biden will testify in his defense in the case, for which he is accused of three crimes involving a handgun and drug use.
After Hunter Biden testifies, he is expected to be the final defense witness in the case, and closing arguments will follow.
Hunter Biden's daughter Naomi Biden testified on Friday.
On Monday morning, it is anticipated that Judge Maryellen Noreik will decide on the defense's request to modify the proposed jury guidelines.
Biden's legal team wants Noreika to inform jurors that "Mr. Biden's reaction to the accusations is that he never intentionally owned a firearm while believing himself to be a drug user or addict, and he did not knowingly falsify a form asking if he was a drug user or addict because he did not consider himself to be one at the time."
On Monday, a virtual interview with a New York probation official is scheduled for former President Donald Trump, who is preparing for his sentencing in a Manhattan Supreme Court criminal hush money case next month.
Last month, Trump was found guilty of 34 felony charges for falsifying business records concerning a payoff to Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election.
In November's presidential election, the Republican will go up against Joe Biden, Hunter Biden's father.
Last week, President Biden stated that he will not grant a pardon to his son if Hunter Biden is found guilty in the case, which is one of two criminal charges the younger Biden is facing.
This year, in Los Angeles federal court, Hunter Biden will face trial for criminal tax charges.
