Hunter Biden, the only surviving son of President Joe Biden, has been convicted of three federal gun-related charges.
On Tuesday morning, after deliberating for just three hours total, the jury convicted Biden on three felony counts. The first two counts relate to making false statements on a federal ATF form. When Biden purchased a firearm in October 2018, he claimed on the required form that he was not a drug addict. He also signed the form.
The third count relates to possessing the gun. Federal law prohibits drug addicts from purchasing and possessing guns. Biden bought the gun on October 12, 2018, and his former lover, Hallie Biden — the widow of Biden’s brother, Beau — threw the gun away 11 days later.
Biden now faces up to 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000. However, this is his first offense, so he is not likely to receive the maximum sentence. Last week, President Biden promised not to pardon his son, should he be convicted.
This is a breaking story. It will be updated as it unfolds.
