BREAKING: Judge Sets Sentencing Date For Hunter Biden's Gun Charges As The President's Son Faces Up To 25 Years In Prison

President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, had his sentencing hearing scheduled on Friday by Delaware's federal court after being found guilty of multiple gun charges earlier this year. The court ordered Biden to appear for sentencing on November 13, just days after the presidential election on November 5.

While the 54-year-old Biden awaits his sentencing hearing, he is also preparing for an upcoming criminal case in California centered around his various alleged tax crimes. That case heads to trial in September.

After being found guilty, Hunter is facing up to 25 years in prison, and the judge could make him pay upwards of a $250,000 fine per offense. However, Hunter's sentence will be up to U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika. While the charges carry significant weight, the president's son isn't expected to be sent to prison, given that he is a first offender.

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, the Delaware jury found Hunter guilty of making false statements on ATF Form 4473 while purchasing his Cobra Colt .38 in October 2018. The 12 Delaware residents also found him guilty of possessing a firearm while addicted to an illegal substance. Hunter Biden, who suffered from drug addiction problems during that period, pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, and he is likely to appeal the verdict. Hunter's defense team attempted to argue that he didn't lie on the ATF form because he believed at the time that he was addicted to an illegal substance like cocaine. 

Despite being found guilty, President Biden said he was "proud" of his son for overcoming his addiction. "As I said last week, I am the President, but I am also a Dad," Biden began. "Jill and I love our son, and we are proud of the man he is today. So many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery. As I also said last week, I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal. Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of the family with our love and support. Nothing will ever change that."

President Biden has committed to not pardoning his son nor commuting his sentence. However, those promises were made before he exited the race last month.
