President Joe Biden's son is going on trial for charges related to a 2018 gun purchase.
Senator Lindsey Graham said the average American would not be charged with the counts Hunter Biden faces in his gun trial.On Monday, the trial of Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, began with jury selection in a Delaware court. He is facing federal charges of illegally possessing a firearm after allegedly lying about his status as a drug user when purchasing a gun in 2018. He maintains his innocence and has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Prosecutors allege that Biden purchased a gun in 2018 and declared that he was not a drug addict, which would be a felony given his history of drug use. Section 922 of the United States Code states it is against the law for anyone who is an 'unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance' to possess a firearm.Court filings submitted by Biden's lawyers in May objected to the special counsel's legal claims defining a user of controlled substances or an addict.
