Hunter Biden indicted: U.S. President’s son faces federal gun charges

Hunter Biden, the son of current U.S. President Joe Biden, was indicted on federal gun charges Thursday after efforts to reach a plea deal failed, leading to the first-ever prosecution of a sitting president's child in U.S. history.

The charges ensure that courtroom drama will play an outsized role in the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign as the current president seeks reelection in a likely rematch with his Republican predecessor Donald Trump, 77, who also faces legal troubles, following four indictments this year alone.

Trump’s own prosecutor, U.S. special counsel David Weiss is overseeing the younger Biden’s indictment.

President Biden has not yet addressed the charges laid against his son.
