A jury in Wilmington, Del., on Tuesday found Hunter Biden, President Biden's son, guilty of three felony counts for lying on a federal firearms application, a shattering blow for the Biden family in the middle of an unforgiving presidential election campaign.
The verdict brought an end to an extraordinary seven-day trial that made painfully public Mr. Biden's crack addiction, reckless behavior, and ruinous spending narrated by three former romantic partners, including the widow of his brother, Beau Biden, and by the defendant himself in the pages of his memoir.
As the verdict was read aloud, Hunter Biden stood with his arms crossed, grimly surveying the jury. When it was all over, he hugged and kissed his wife, Melissa Cohen Biden. 'I am more grateful today for the love and support I experienced this last week from Melissa, my family, my friends, and my community than I am disappointed by the outcome,' he said in a statement shortly after.
