Hunter Biden's Not Guilty Plea in Federal Gun Charges Sparks Bipartisan Hypocrisy Debate
Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, plans to plead not guilty to three federal gun charges related to a firearm purchase in 2018. His lawyer has requested a videoconference for the initial court appearance instead of appearing in person. The not-guilty plea comes after a plea deal collapsed in July. If convicted, Hunter Biden could face up to 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines, but first-time offenders rarely receive serious prison time for these charges. The investigation into his late tax filings and other business activities is ongoing.
