The son of the American president has been charged with three counts of illegal possession of weapons. He faces up to 25 years in prison.
On Thursday, September 14, the US Department of Justice announced charges related to the illegal possession of weapons against the son of US President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, NBC News reports.
It was found that the case against Biden Jr. has to do with the three articles of illegal possession of weapons. Two involved making false statements about a firearm, and the third involved possession of a firearm by a drug user.
We are talking about an episode in October 2018 when the son of the US President “knowingly made a false and fictitious written statement” when buying a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver: he told a gun dealer in Delaware that he does not use drugs.
Owned by Hunter Jr. the weapon “from approximately October 12 to October 23, 2018.” On all three counts, he faces a maximum of 25 years in prison.
However, lawyers note that charges filed against the US president’s son are rarely prosecuted. Additionally, the possession of a firearm while under the influence clause is being challenged in the courts and may ultimately be ruled unconstitutional.
The case of illegal possession of weapons is being investigated by US Department of Justice Special Prosecutor David Weiss.
We remind you that an official investigation has begun in the US Congress, which may launch the impeachment process of President Joe Biden. The main focus of Congress is the business activities of the President’s son Hunter Biden, who is suspected of unsavory business practices.
