President Joe Biden has vowed to respect the jury’s decision after his son, Hunter Biden, was found guilty of gun crimes following a week-long trial that exposed challenging times for the Biden family.
Hunter Biden was found guilty on all three felony counts and faces possible jail time. His conviction comes on the heels of former President Donald Trump’s recent criminal conviction in New York, highlighting a politically charged atmosphere as both figures gear up for the upcoming election.
Following the verdict, President Biden traveled to Wilmington, Delaware, where he greeted and hugged his son on the tarmac. President Biden had previously ruled out pardoning his son.
Reports indicate that Mr. Biden has been closely monitoring the case, even seeking updates during a trip to France for D-Day anniversary events.
Hunter Biden will be sentenced within the next 120 days, though the judge has yet to schedule a hearing
