BREAKING: Hunter Biden Guilty on 3 Felony Gun Charges
Clear Facts
- Hunter Biden found guilty on three felony gun charges in Delaware.
- The weeklong trial focused on his history of drug addiction.
- No sentencing date has been set; each count carries a maximum fine of $250,000.
A jury in Delaware has found Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, guilty on three felony gun charges after a weeklong trial that focused on his history of drug addiction. Hunter was charged in federal court in Wilmington with three felony counts tied to possession of a gun while using narcotics.
The trial was the first involving the offspring of a sitting president, coming as Joe Biden faces a brutal re-election fight against Donald Trump in November. Hunter Biden looked straight ahead at the jury as the verdict was read, and slightly nodded in response.
In a statement, the president said, “Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today.”
“The president said he accepted the outcome of the case “and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal. Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support. Nothing will ever change that.”
Hunter Biden issued a statement thanking his wife, family, and friends for their support, saying, “Recovery is possible by the grace of God, and I am blessed to experience that gift one day at a time.”
His attorney, Abbe Lowell, indicated they may appeal the verdict, stating, “We are naturally disappointed by today’s verdict. We will continue to vigorously pursue all the legal challenges available to Hunter.”
The trial featured explicit testimony from three of Hunter Biden’s former romantic partners about his chronic drug use. Prosecutors pushed back on Lowell’s defense by using passages from Hunter Biden’s book, where he detailed his struggles with alcohol and drug addiction.
Prosecutors also pointed to circumstantial evidence from witnesses about Biden’s chronic drug use, his text messages, and photos of him using drugs to show he was using crack during that time. “The evidence was personal, it was ugly, it was overwhelming,” Leo Wise told the jury in his closing argument.
The gun charge was initially going to be disposed of as part of a plea deal with special counsel David Weiss’ office last year. However, plea negotiations fell apart following U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika’s rejection of the deal, leading to the indictment on the gun charges in Delaware and another on tax charges in California.
That case is scheduled to go to trial in September.

Hunter is a dirtbag. First step to justice. Hope the punishment is fitting. Time to pay back. Joe is next.

Joe is next. He is a dirt bag trying to destroy America. He has accepted money from China and the Ukraine and done everything they wanted in exchange to being paid off by them. He is allowing Iran to finish working on their nuclear program, which will end up destroying the Middle East and anything that the US wants to accomplish in the World. The Bidens are pieces of crap.

I hope President Biden lives to age 120, on the balcony of the Wilmington house, sitting in his own filth, watching his dreams evaporate one-by-one, mumbling “Not a joke.” every three minutes. Jill’s punishment will be having to look after him for the next forty years because she can’t leave with Secret Service witnessing.

He will not see one day in jail and a very minor cash penalty.

This is political theater. Biden is looking for sympathy. His Daddy will never let him serv3 s day. The aBidens are a low class family.

This administration of thieves supporting Biden, think that the people are stupid. Biden sacrificed his son to convince the people that Mr. Trump’s conviction is just and not politically motivated. What a bunch of shit. He hopes to convince the country that if his son was found guilty so was Trump found guilty ,square and fair. With his son’s conviction he hopes to divert a civil war which might very well hapen when mr. Trump will be convicted and sent to jail. I hope the people are smarter than to believe that just because his deviant son was found guilty, the same can be said about Mr. Trump
Mr. Trump conviction is purely political. Hunter Biden’s conviction is just conviction. The laptop which more than 50 FBI and CIA seniors vouched that is Russian hoax, tells in plenty images why Hunter needs to go to prison. Next should be the one who made hundreds of milios by selling the country and that one is not Mr. Trump

Minor charges to take away attention from the major charges of influence peddling.

Compared to all his other decisions, picking Kamala Harris probably WAS the best decision he ever made. So, it’s been decided, that Joe Biden is too old, to finish destroying the country. I can offer my appreciation in one word — Asufutimaehaehfutbw . So, how do you feel, about the partying, that offered this Asufutimaehaehfutbw in the first place ?
