Hunter Biden set to be sentenced in federal felony gun case after landmark conviction.
The son of President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, is scheduled to face a sentencing hearing in a Delaware federal court on December 16, 2024, following his conviction on three felony gun charges. The charges stem from his 2018 purchase of a Colt revolver, where he allegedly made false statements on a federal firearms application, claiming he was not addicted to drugs. Hunter Biden faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison, though first-time offenders often receive shorter terms. This case marks a historic first, as it is the first criminal conviction of a sitting president's child, and has drawn intense political and public scrutiny amid the 2024 presidential campaign.
