We're coming on the air because there is breaking news
at this hour.
A guilty verdict in Hunter Biden's federal gun trial in
Wilmington,
DE. The president's son facing 3 felony counts,
accused of lying at a federal form about drug use
when he bought a gun in 2018,
saying he was not a drug user and prosecutors arguing
he illegally had that gun for 11 days.
After deliberating for about an hour on the first day,
about two hours today, they have found him guilty on
all three charges.
Count 1, making a false statement in the purchase of
a firearm.
Guilty of count 2, making a false statement.
Related to information required to be kept by a federal
licensed firearms dealer and guilty on count 3,
possessing a firearm by a person who is an unlawful
user or addicted to a controlled substance.
So again, the breaking news at this hour.
Hunter Biden found guilty on all three felony charges.
Let's get right to Terry Moran outside the courthouse.
Terry.
That's right, David, you've got it all.
Three counts, guilty as charged,
about 3 hours of deliberation.
One hour yesterday, two hours today.
The jurors got to work and they came through with
this verdict.
Each of these counts required the required the jurors to
take into account what Hunter's defense was here,
which is basically that while he had abused drugs,
as he confessed in his memoir,
Beautiful Things, as the jurors heard plenty of evidence about
at that time,
Hunter Biden said he since he didn't testify,
but his lawyer presented evidence that he did not.
Feel that he was actually abusing drugs at that time
and therefore was not guilty of these crimes.
The jurors rejected that guilty on all three counts.
