Hunter Biden Found Guilty on Three Felony Gun Charges
Guilty Verdict in Biden Gun Case
In a major development, a federal jury has found Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, guilty on all three federal felony gun charges he faced. The verdict was reached after a two-week trial in which prosecutors presented evidence that Biden lied about his drug use on a federal firearms form. Biden faces a maximum of 10 years in prison, although sentencing guidelines suggest he will serve less time.
Background of the Case
The charges against Biden stem from a 2018 incident in which he purchased a handgun from a Delaware gun store. On the firearms form, Biden stated that he was not an unlawful user of controlled substances. However, prosecutors presented evidence that Biden was using cocaine at the time of the purchase and that he had lied about his drug use on multiple other occasions.
Biden's defense attorneys argued that he did not knowingly lie on the firearms form and that he was not a danger to society. However, the jury rejected these arguments and found Biden guilty on all three charges.
Impact of the Verdict
The guilty verdict is a significant development in the ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden's business dealings. It is also a blow to President Biden, who has been vocal in his support of his son. The verdict could potentially lead to further charges against Hunter Biden or other individuals involved in his business ventures.
Continuing Investigation
The Justice Department's investigation into Hunter Biden is ongoing. It is unclear whether the department will bring additional charges against Biden or other individuals. However, the guilty verdict in the gun case is a clear indication that the Justice Department is taking this investigation seriously.
