Joe Biden has suffered a major setback before the US presidential election. Joe Biden has had to pay the price for the actions of his son Hunter Biden in the election. US President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden was convicted on Tuesday in three other cases of buying a revolver in 2018. The judge has not announced the date of sentencing.
Hunter didn't reply.
Prosecutors argued that Biden's son had lied on the mandatory gun purchase form by saying he did not use illegal drugs or was a drug addict. When the verdict was announced after arguments from both sides, Hunter Biden looked on and did not react. After the verdict, he hugged both his lawyers and smiled.
Written statement by Hunter Biden
In a written statement, Hunter Biden said he was disappointed by the verdict, but grateful for the support of family and friends. Hunter's lawyer said he would pursue all available legal options. President Joe Biden's wife, Jill Biden, arrived at the courthouse minutes after the verdict was announced. Hunter Biden left the courtroom holding the hands of his mother and wife. He did not speak to reporters. After the court's decision was announced, President Biden said he accepts the outcome of the case and respects the judicial process.
