Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has been convicted on all three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018. The federal jury found that Biden lied on a mandatory gun-purchase form by falsely claiming he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs at the time.
The charges against Biden included lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, making a false statement on the application, and illegal possession of the firearm for 11 days. He faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison, though legal experts suggest that as a first-time offender, he is unlikely to receive the maximum penalty. The sentencing, to be presided over by Judge Maryellen Noreika, has not yet been scheduled.
