Hunter Biden to Plead Not Guilty in Federal Gun Charges Case

Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, plans to plead not guilty to federal gun charges and has requested his initial court appearance to be held remotely. His attorney stated that Biden is not seeking special treatment and is willing to attend any proceedings in person if required. Biden was indicted on three charges related to his purchase of a gun in 2018, including making a false statement on a federal form and possession of a firearm as a prohibited person. Prosecutors argue that Biden, a drug user at the time, was not legally allowed to own the weapon and lied on the form. A previous plea deal attempt fell apart, and prosecutors oppose Biden's request for a remote appearance.
