In a courtroom appearance in Delaware, Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, entered a not guilty plea to three firearms-related charges, intensifying legal proceedings as his father eyes a potential re-election bid in 2024. The 53-year-old’s plea follows the collapse of a plea deal that aimed to expedite the resolution of the charges.

US Magistrate Judge Christopher Burke emphasized that the president’s son should receive “no special treatment” in the legal proceedings.
