Hunter Biden found guilty of all three charges in historic federal gun trial

President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden has been found guiltyin his federal gun trial in Wilmington, Delaware, after days of emotional testimony about the first son’s drug use.

After approximately three hours of deliberations, 12 jurors unanimously convicted Biden on all three felony gun charges, a historic decision that marks the first time a sitting president’s child has been found guilty of a crime.

Biden remained calm and still as the verdict was read, then turned to hug members of his legal team and kiss his wife, Melissa Cohen-Biden. He left the courthouse holding hands with his stepmom, first lady Jill Biden, who missed the actual reading of the verdict. They all left the courthouse in a black SUV without issuing a statement.

“I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal,” President Joe Biden said in a statement. “Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support.”

Biden wasindicted in September after the plea deal he’d inked with prosecutors blew up over a federal judge’s concerns. At trial, jurors heard deeply personal evidence about the severity of his drug use, with prosecutors using his own texts and memoir, Beautiful Things, in addition to the testimony of his exes, to accuse Biden of knowingly lying on a form to buy a gun on October 12, 2018.

Biden could now face years behind bars. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison and fines of up to $750,000. But there’s no minimum sentence, and nonviolent first-time offenders usually do not receive severe punishments.

Biden was accused of buying and owning a gun while being addicted to crack cocaine, flouting federal law which
