Hunter Biden indicted on federal firearms charges

Hunter Biden, son of US President Joe Biden, is facing criminal charges related to gun possession after failing to reach a plea deal. This is the first time a sitting president's child is being prosecuted. The charges were brought by US Special Counsel David Weiss, who has been investigating Hunter Biden's business dealings. These charges add drama to the upcoming 2024 presidential campaign, where President Biden is expected to seek reelection against former President Donald Trump. Hunter Biden has been targeted by Republicans for years, but there is no evidence that President Biden personally benefited from his son's activities.
