Hunter Biden's Legal Battle: Gun Charges and Beyond

Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, pleaded not guilty to charges of lying about his drug use while purchasing a handgun. This marks the first-ever criminal prosecution of a sitting U.S. president's child. Biden was charged with three counts related to lying on a federal form to acquire a handgun in 2018 and for being an illegal drug user in possession of the gun. The hearing sets the stage for a historic first: the criminal trial of the adult child of a sitting president who is campaigning for reelection. Hunter Biden's attorney plans to file a motion to dismiss the case, citing the belief that a previous agreement remains in effect and that the statute is unconstitutional.
