Hunter Biden has been found guilty on three felony federal gun charges. The verdict was returned on Tuesday, June 11. While no sentencing date has been announced, President Joe Biden’s son may face up to 25 years in prison from the charges, but it is unlikely.
This was the first trial for a child of a sitting president. It’s unclear how the verdict will affect the president’s re-election efforts against former President Donald Trump in November. Trump also has his own series of legal issues, including recently being found guilty on 34 felony counts in relation to the hush money payment he made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The former president is expected to appeal the verdict, but he’s also up for three other felony indictments.
