Hunter Biden, the son of U.S. President Joe Biden, has been found guilty on all three felony charges in his federal gun trial. The charges include lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, making a false claim on the application by stating he was not a drug user, and illegally possessing a firearm. The trial took place in Delaware, and the jury reached its verdict after three hours of deliberations over two days. This marks the first time a child of a sitting U.S. president has been convicted of crimes. The charges stem from a 2018 gun purchase involving a revolver. Hunter Biden faces up to 25 years in prison, with each count carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years and a maximum fine of $250,000. As a first-time offender, a much lower sentence is expected. President Biden has stated he would not pardon his son. The trial included emotional testimony about his drug use from his ex-wife and sister-in-law.
