President Biden’s son Hunter Biden was criminally charged today with deceiving a gun dealer into selling him a firearm, reports Reuters. It is the first-ever indictment of a sitting president's child. Biden was charged in U.S. District Court in Delaware with three criminal counts related to lying about using illegal drugs at the time of the gun purchase, which would have banned him under the law from owning a firearm. A prior deal under which Biden, 53, would have pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and enroll in a program to avoid prosecution, collapsed in during a hearing in July. A tax investigation remains ongoing.
