Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, is scheduled to be sentenced on November 13, 2024, following his conviction for lying on a gun application and illegally possessing a firearm.

He was found guilty on three counts related to false statements about his drug use during a handgun purchase in 2018, making him the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a felony.

U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika, who presided over the trial, will oversee the sentencing process.

Sentencing guidelines suggest a potential term of 15 to 21 months, although experts indicate that first-time offenders often receive shorter sentences or may avoid incarceration altogether.

Biden's legal team plans to challenge both the conviction and the law concerning the gun charges, although this may not delay the sentencing date.

In addition to the gun charges, Biden faces a trial on tax charges scheduled for September 5 in Los Angeles, where he has pleaded not guilty.

The tax charges involve accusations of failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes from 2016 to 2019, with Biden facing three felony and six misdemeanor counts.

President Joe Biden has publicly accepted the outcome of his son's case and stated he will not intervene to pardon him or reduce his sentence.

Hunter Biden is seeking to have both the tax and gun cases dismissed, referencing a ruling related to a separate prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

During the trial, prosecutors emphasized Biden's struggles with alcohol and crack cocaine addiction, which legally barred him from purchasing a firearm.

Biden's conviction came after a jury deliberated for less than 24 hours, highlighting the gravity of the charges against him.

The sentencing will take place just eight days after the November 5 presidential election, keeping the implications of Biden's conviction in the spotlight during a critical political period.
