Hunter Biden Convicted on Three Federal Gun Charges

A Delaware federal jury convicted Hunter Biden on all three felony counts related to his purchase of a revolver in 2018 while allegedly addicted to crack cocaine. Biden became the first child of a sitting president convicted of a federal crime. Prosecutors argued he lied on a federal firearms form by stating he was not a drug user; the defense contended the government targeted him for political reasons.
