Jurors in Hunter Biden’s federal gun case have reached a verdict.
A Delaware jury has found Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, guilty on all three counts of lying on a Federal gun form.
Hunter Biden was charged with three felonies last year on the basis he lied on a federal gun form about his drug use.
Hunter was convicted of “making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed firearms dealer.”
The people who testified in the trial were Hallie Biden, Hunter Biden’s ex-lover and the wife of Hunter Biden’s late brother, Hunter Naomi Biden, and Gordon Clevel Biden’s daughter, who sold Hunter Biden the firearm.
Hunter opted not to take the stand.

Here’s what The New York Post reported:
Hunter Biden became the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a crime Tuesday after a federal jury found him guilty of lying about his drug use in order to buy a gun.
The panel of six men and six women deliberated for three hours across two days before convicting the 54-year-old of making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed firearms dealer, and possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of or addict to a controlled substance.
Prosecutors from special counsel David Weiss’ office had argued President Biden’s son knowingly fibbed on a gun application form that he did not use controlled substances before walking out of a Wilmington shop with a Colt Cobra .38-caliber revolver on Oct. 12, 2018.
In fact, Hunter Biden was hooked on crack cocaine at the time, a fact he acknowledged in his own 2021 memoir — which prosecutors used as evidence against him.
