The federal court in Wilmington delivered the verdict on Tuesday, marking the first time a child of a current US president has been convicted of a crime. Hunter Biden faced charges of lying about his drug use when purchasing a firearm and illegally possessing the weapon. The charges stemmed from a 2018 incident in which Biden, then struggling with drug addiction, bought a Colt Cobra .38-calibre revolver. When completing the mandatory background check form, Biden falsely stated that he was not using illegal drugs, a misrepresentation that led to his conviction. #HunterBiden #GunCrimes #GuiltyVerdict #LegalNews #BidenFamily #CourtCase #GunControl #JusticeSystem #USPolitics #BreakingNews #CrimeAndPunishment #FederalCourt #JudicialProcess #BidenAdministration #PoliticalImpact ~PR.152~ED.155~
