Hunter Biden convicted on three felony gun charges first child of a sitting president convicted

A Delaware jury convicts Hunter Biden on all three felony counts related to his 2018 purchase of a revolver while allegedly addicted to crack cocaine, lying on a federal firearms form (two counts) and illegally possessing the weapon as a drug user. He becomes the first child of a sitting U.S. president ever convicted of a crime. President Biden, through a spokesperson, says he accepts the verdict and will not pardon his son. The conviction draws political attention to Hunter's 2024 memoir excerpts and messages from his laptop, which prosecutors use as evidence. Hunter faces a separate federal tax case in California.
