WEB Hunter Biden convicted on gun charges in federal court
Long-running Justice Department investigation comes to an end
Verdict reached in Delaware court
A federal jury has found Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, guilty on all three charges tied to the possession of a gun while using illegal drugs.
The verdict, which came after a two-week trial in Delaware, was announced on Tuesday. Biden had been facing a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison on each charge.
The charges stemmed from a 2018 incident in which Biden was allegedly found in possession of a firearm and cocaine.
The trial was closely watched by both sides of the political aisle, with some Republicans calling for Hunter Biden to face the full extent of the law and some Democrats arguing that the charges were politically motivated.
The jury's verdict is a significant development in the long-running Justice Department investigation into Hunter Biden's business dealings.
