Hunter Biden is set to face sentencing just one week after the upcoming presidential election following his conviction on multiple gun charges. In a trial that concluded in June, jurors deliberated for only three hours before reaching a verdict.
Biden was found guilty on all three felony counts related to his purchase of a firearm while under the influence of illegal substances. The evidence presented by prosecutors confirmed that he was smoking crack cocaine at the time he acquired the gun in 2018.
Despite public speculation about potential clemency from his father, President Joe Biden has consistently stated that he will not pardon Hunter or commute his sentence.
According to Fox News,
First son Hunter Biden will be sentenced on Nov. 13, the week after the general election, after he was found guilty on charges in the criminal case focused on his purchase of a handgun in 2018.
Judge Maryellen Noreika, in a court order Friday, set the sentencing date for Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 10:00 a.m. at the J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building in Wilmington, Delaware. President Biden’s son will learn his fate eight days after the 2024 presidential election.
Hunter Biden was found guilty in June of making a false statement in the purchase of a gun, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer, and possession of a gun by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.
He faces a total maximum prison time of 25 years for the three charges. Each count also carries a maximum fine of $250,000 and three years of supervised release. Hunter Biden, however, is considered a first-time offender which makes it unlikely he will receive maximum penalties.
