Hunter Biden found guilty in federal gun trial


Hunter Biden was found guilty on all three counts in his federal gun trial in Delaware.

The president’s son was charged in a three-count indictment following an investigation by prosecutor David Weiss, who was appointed U.S. attorney by Donald Trump and made special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland. The charges came after a deal fell through last year on both gun and tax allegations. Biden still faces a separate trial for the latter; he pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.

Biden was charged with lying on paperwork related to his 2018 purchase of a firearm and his possession of it as a drug user or addict.
