Sentencing to take place at latest by October 9, about a month before his father, US President Joe Biden, seeks re-election.
Hunter Biden, the son of United States President Joe Biden, has been found guilty of illegally buying a gun while under the influence of drugs in 2018, becoming the first child of a sitting president to be a convicted felon.
The younger Biden, 54, showed little reaction to the verdict on Tuesday and left the Delaware courthouse holding hands with his wife Melissa Cohen Biden and first lady Jill Biden.
Here is all you need to know about the conviction:
Hunter Biden was indicted on September 14 on three counts regarding a 2018 purchase of a Colt Cobra .38 Special revolver from a gun shop in Wilmington, Delaware, the Bidens’ hometown.
He was found guilty of making a false claim on the application to buy the gun by saying he was not a drug user and was convicted of lying to a federally licensed gun dealer.
