President Joe Biden’s embattled son Hunter has been convicted for gun crimes and now faces the prospect of a jail sentence while his father campaigns for one of the most consequential elections in US history.In another court case that could shake the 2024 rematch between the incumbent president and Donald Trump, Hunter Biden has been found guilty of illegally owning a gun and lying about his drug use on a form he filled out to purchase the firearm in 2018.
The guilty verdict, delivered by a jury after three hours of deliberations, marks the first time the child of a sitting US president has been convicted of a felony – and one that comes with a maximum sentence of 25 years’ prison, although a lesser sentence is far more likely for a first-time offender.He also faces a separate trial in September – two months before the November election – on more serious charges relating to his alleged failure to pay $US1.
