Hunter Biden and his lawyers are now seeking a new trial in regards to his federal firearm case.

On Monday, lawyers for the president’s son resubmitted a motion seeking a new trial only a week after the motion had been withdrawn by the defense team.

Hunter was charged in federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, with three felony counts tied to possession of a gun while using narcotics. He pleaded not guilty.

A jury found Hunter Biden guilty on all three counts and he was convicted of lying on a background screening form while purchasing a revolver in October 2018. He also illegally possessed the gun for two weeks.

Two of the counts carry a maximum prison sentence of 10 years, and the third has a maximum of five years.

Despite the maximum sentencing, under federal sentencing guideline recommendations, he could be sentenced to over a year in prison. However, the judge could sentence him to more or less time as well.

Each count carries a maximum fine of $250,000. No sentencing date has been set yet.
