Faces up to 25 years in prison: Hunter Biden, son of the U.S. President, has been charged with three counts

Hunter Biden, the son of the U.S. President, has been charged with three counts that could lead to up to 25 years in prison, according to a court document.

“The maximum penalties are ten years of imprisonment, a $250,000 fine. Five years of supervised release, a $250,000 fine, ten years of supervised release, a $250,000 fine,” the publication states.

A grand jury in the Delaware district approved the charges on three counts: two related to Hunter Biden allegedly providing false information to purchase a “Colt” handgun by denying drug use, and the third count is related to possessing a firearm during drug use.

According to prosecutors, the son of the White House resident committed these crimes in October 2018. In total, he could face a fine of $750,000 for these charges.

Hunter Biden, the first child of a sitting U.S. president to face charges, is accused of two instances of willful tax evasion. Official records state that he failed to pay over $100,000 in taxes in 2017-2018, which could result in a 12-month prison term for each of these charges. Additionally, Biden Jr. faces a separate charge, alleging that in 2018, while knowing he was using illegal drugs, he possessed a “Colt” handgun. This also violates the law and carries a maximum penalty of a ten-year prison sentence.

Hunter Biden has entered into a deal with the prosecution regarding the tax evasion charges and agreed to pre-trial measures as part of the case involving the illegal possession of a firearm. This could eventually remove that charge from his legal record if he complies with the agreement and completes a rehabilitation program. However, the judge has not yet approved the deal.
