May 17 (UPI) -- Attorneys for Hunter Biden asked a California judge to push the date for his upcoming tax trial to September or later.
The trial, accusing Biden of taking part in a tax conspiracy is scheduled to begin June 20, a little more than weeks after he is set to appear in Delaware for a trial on gun charges.
The Delaware trial is set to begin on June 3, with Biden's lawyers saying they expect his counsel to remain there until at least June 14 in their submissions to U.S. District Court Judge Mark Scarsi for the delay request.
"Mr. Biden needs a limited reprieve from the converging deadlines and is asking for the first time for a brief continuance," Biden's lawyers wrote.
Biden tried unsuccessfully in April to have the three felony and six misdemeanor charges against him dismissed.
Federal prosecutors contend Biden made more than $7 million in gross income between 2016 and 2020 but went on to spend it on an "extravagant lifestyle" instead of paying taxes. They claim that lifestyle included escort services, luxury vehicles and hotel stays, which were then written off as business expenses.

He ran out of other people’s money.
daddy’s going to have to give back some of that 10% for big guy sales commission! lol
It’s poetic justice that Hunter is getting prosecuted for real crimes while Trump is being persecuted for fake crimes. I hope Beelzebub Biden is forced to pardon Hunter. That would be fun.
Delay for Trump? Unacceptable.
Delay for Hunter? Perfectly understandable.
Have a banana in honor of our Republic.
Hunter knows that after the election Dad will pardon him.
If he had known it was taxable he would have charged 15%. The 10% was a public service.
So far, he’s been denied quite a few requests. Hopefully the trend continues.
