In a landmark decision, Hunter Biden, the son of sitting US President Joe Biden, has been found guilty on three felony counts related to illegal gun possession. 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.
