Hunter Biden, son of US President Joe Biden, was found guilty of three illegal gun charges and may face a maximum sentence of 25 years, marking the first time in US history for a sitting president's child to be convicted. Upon learning the verdict, Joe Biden accepted the decision and immediately gave a speech at the Gun Violence Prevention Summit. Despite expressing disappointment, Hunter Biden thanked his family for their love and support, with his lawyer stating they will continue to actively address all legal challenges. Prosecutors emphasized that no one, even the president's son, is above the law. Joe Biden, a key figure in gun violence issues, did not address his son's conviction during a speech but expressed sympathy for those affected by gun violence. The sentencing is expected to be announced in 120 days, potentially impacting Joe Biden's re-election campaign as Hunter faces further charges related to tax evasion that will begin trial in September.
