A Delaware judge on Wednesday set Hunter Biden’s first court appearance on felony firearm charges for October 3, denying his request to appear virtually because the 53-year-old California resident “should not receive special treatment in this matter.”
Hunter Biden told the judge he plans to plead not guilty to three gun charges that carry up to 25 years in prison and a $750,000 fine.
The president’s son asked the judge allow him to appear virtually, but the judge denied the request, dashing Hunter Biden’s hopes of dispensing with a typical federal arraignment.
“Any other defendant would be required to attend his or her initial appearance in person. So too here,” the judge wrote in a two-page order.
The judge told the president’s son that he “should not receive special treatment in this matter,” and said he could not “recall ever having conducted an initial appearance other than in person.”
“Although initial appearances in criminal matters are often short in duration, our Court has always considered them to be important,” the judge wrote.
Special Counsel David Weiss, who gave Hunter Biden a sweetheart plea deal in July that collapsed under judicial scrutiny, argued for the president’s son to appear in person.
