President Biden's Son Found Guilty: Democrats Say Justice is Served

Reported 7 months ago

The charges include illegally possessing a firearm in 2018 while being a drug user and lying about drug use on a gun-purchase form. Despite facing up to 25 years in prison, due to lack of prior convictions, Hunter Biden may receive a lighter sentence. Following the verdict, President Biden altered his schedule to meet with his son, expressing love and support for him. The Democrats emphasized that the ruling demonstrates the justice system's fairness and rejected claims of a political witch hunt against the Bidens.
