Hunter Biden's Not Guilty Plea in Federal Gun Charges Case

Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden, pleaded not guilty to federal charges related to his purchase of a handgun in 2018. The charges include falsifying a federal firearms application, lying to a gun dealer, and possessing an illegally obtained gun. If convicted, he could face up to 25 years in prison. Hunter Biden's lawyer plans to file a motion to dismiss the charges and suggests political pressure from President Trump and his allies as the reason behind the indictment. The case has been used by Republicans to attack President Biden and raise allegations of corruption.

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.
