JAKARTA - The son of President of the United States (US) Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, will serve a sentence hearing for three counts, one of which is related to weapons a week after the US Presidential Election on November 13.

Hunter Biden was found guilty in June by a Delaware jury for violating the law when he got a firearm in 2018, in a drug addiction condition.

Reported by ABC News, Saturday, August 3, on the three counts of crime, Hunter Biden faces up to 25 years in prison, although law experts believe he will not serve his sentence as the first and without violence.

Hunter Biden has sought a new trial in this case, saying "the sentence against him should be overturned" as the trial began before a regional court officially issued a mandate to reject one of its many pretrial appeals.

But last month, his lawyers withdrew their petition to hold a new trial, admitting in court documents, the motion misunderstood the technicalities in the capacity of the district court to carry out the trial.

President Joe Biden has repeatedly promised not to pardon his son, including in an interview with host David Muir's "World News Tonight".

While the trial was still ongoing, Biden was asked if he would respect the outcome.

Biden then replied, "Yes.'

Asked if he would rule out pardons for Hunter Biden, once again, Biden replied simply, "Yes."

Hunter Biden faces a separate criminal trial in September on federal tax charges. He pleaded not guilty.
