WilMingTOn, del. (ap) — Hunter Biden was
convicted Tuesday of all three felony charges
related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018
when, prosecutors argued, the president’s son
lied on a mandatory gun-purchase form by
saying he was not illegally using or addicted
to drugs.
Hunter Biden, 54, stared straight ahead and
showed little emotion as the verdict was read
after jury deliberations that lasted only three
hours over two days. He hugged his attorneys,
smiled wanly and kissed his wife, Melissa, be-
fore leaving the courtroom with her.
President Joe Biden said in a statement issued
shortly after the verdict that he would accept
the outcome and “continue to respect the ju-
dicial process as Hunter considers an appeal.”
Now Hunter Biden and presumptive Republi-
can presidential nominee Donald Trump, the
president’s chief political rival, have both been
convicted by American jurors in an election
year that has been as much about the court-
room as about campaign events and rallies.
hunter Biden departs from federal court, Tuesday, June 11, 2024, in Wilmington, del.
