Washington: Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, was convicted on Tuesday of lying about his drug use when purchasing a firearm, making him the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a crime. The jury in Wilmington, Delaware, found Biden guilty on all three counts after a trial that delved into his history of substance abuse.
According to reports, Hunter Biden was found guilty of charges related to possessing a weapon despite being addicted to drugs and lying about his drug use. The 12-member jury delivered their verdict after three hours of deliberation. Hunter Biden, 54, displayed minimal reaction, simply nodding his head and patting his lawyer, Abbe Lowell, on the back.
Lowell announced plans to “pursue all the legal challenges available to Hunter,” who still faces a separate tax case in California. Hunter Biden expressed gratitude for the support he received, emphasizing his commitment to recovery.
