On June 11, 2024, a jury in Wilmington, Delaware, found Hunter Biden guilty of three charges including making false statements to buy a gun in 2018. The prosecution highlighted the dangers of Biden's illegal choices made during a drug addiction episode. Despite the defense suggesting an appeal, Joe Biden released a statement respecting the jury's decision and expressing pride in his son's recovery from drug issues. The sentencing for Hunter Biden, who is a first-time offender, is expected to be lower than the maximum 25-year term. This case has drawn significant attention as it may impact Joe Biden's reelection campaign and marks the first time a president's child has been convicted. Hunter Biden also faces separate tax-related charges in Los Angeles, with a trial scheduled for September.
