Big blow for Joe Biden as son Hunter convicted in gun trial; Will he go to prison after his guilty verdict

Jurors found Hunter Biden guilty of lying to a federally licensed gun a, making a false claim on the application by saying he was not a drug user

Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, was convicted by a jury on Tuesday of lying about drug use to illegally buy a gun.

a verdict Democrats may seize upon to counter Donald Trump’s claim of a justice system weaponized against him.

The judge set no date for sentencing, but added the timeline is usually within 120 days. That would place it no later than a month before the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election.

Sentencing guidelines for the gun charges are 15 to 21 months

but legal experts say defendants in similar cases often get shorter sentences and are less likely to be incarcerated if they abide by the terms of their pretrial release
