Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden( American President ), was found guilty on Tuesday of three felony charges stemming from his attempt to acquire a firearm in 2018 while battling addiction.
Despite pleading not guilty last October following an accusation by special counsel David Weiss, Biden was arraigned in Wilmington, Delaware, a city where his family holds longstanding influence.
This trial marks the first time the offspring of a sitting president has faced such legal scrutiny, let alone being convicted. The verdict comes shortly after former President Donald Trump was convicted on unrelated felony charges connected to a 2016 hush money payment, though many view that verdict as politically motivated and expect it to be challenged on appeal.
Hunter Biden now faces additional legal challenges, including a charge of tax fraud in California scheduled for September, carrying the weight of a convicted felon as he enters this next phase of legal proceedings.
