Hunter Biden found guilty on gun-related charges on Tuesday, June 11, 2024
Hunter Biden is facing a possible penalty of years in prison after a jury convicted him on three federal gun charges.
After only about three hours of deliberating, the jury returned the verdict Tuesday.
The charges stem from his purchase of a firearm in 2018 at a time when he was addicted to crack cocaine. They stem from his claim, on a required federal form, that he was not addicted or under the influence of drugs, a statement required to qualify for a gun purchase.
The jury convicted him of making a false statement for a firearms purchase, making a false statement for the transaction record, and illegally possessing a firearm.
