WASHINGTON: Hunter Biden was charged on Thursday with misleading a gun trader into selling him a gun, in the latest mark of how Hunter Biden’s legal woes may weigh on U.S President Biden’s re-election bid in 2024.
US President’s Son Hit with Gun Charge
The first-ever indictment of the US President’s child was filed in a Court of law, charged Hunter Biden with 3 criminal counts linked to lying regarding the fact he was using unlawful drugs at that time.
The public prosecutor accused Hunter Biden of lying regarding his use of narcotics when he bought a Colt Cobra handgun in 2018.
The development comes two days following House of Representatives Republicans initiated an impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden linked to Hunter Biden’s foreign business transactions. The White House has condemned that measure, made without a vote by the full House, as unconfirmed and politically driven.
