Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, is set to be sentenced on November 13 for federal gun charges. Following the election, he faces up to 25 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
In June, Hunter Biden was found guilty of making a false statement when purchasing a firearm in 2018, lying about his drug use, and possessing a gun while being an unlawful user of addictive substances. President Biden has confirmed that he will not pardon his son for these charges.
Delaware US Attorney David Weiss, whose office handled the case, stated, “This case was not just about addiction, a disease that haunts families across the United States, including Hunter Biden’s family. This case was about the illegal choices the defendant made while in the throes of addiction.”
Following his conviction, Hunter’s law license was suspended by the DC Bar. Despite facing a maximum sentence of 25 years, his actual prison time may be reduced due to being a first-time offender.
Hunter Biden expressed gratitude for the support he received, stating, “I am more grateful today for the love and support I experienced this last week from Melissa, my family, my friends, and my community than I am disappointed by the outcome. Recovery is possible by the grace of God, and I am blessed to experience that gift one day at a time.”
