Hunter Biden found guilty on all counts in gun trial
Hunter Biden has been found guilty of lying about his drug use when buying a gun. After three hours of deliberation, the jury found him guilty on all three counts, BBC reports.
Hunter faces a maximum of 25 years in prison for all three counts. An exact date has not been scheduled. The judge has said sentencing dates usually take place within a 120-day period.
Hunter showed little emotion as the guilty verdicts were read out, staring ahead with his arms folded before turning around to hug some of the associates on his legal team.
US President Joe Biden released a statement saying he will "accept the outcome of the case" and "will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal". The president reiterated his support for his son. "Nothing will ever change that," he said.
Will President Biden pardon his son? It is within his power to issue a pardon, but the president has confirmed he would not pardon his son for his guilty convictions.
