WILMINGTON, Delaware (LifeSiteNews) — Federal prosecutors on Thursday indicted U.S. President Joe Biden’s son Hunter on three counts related to his allegedly illegal purchase of a firearm. No charges have been announced pertaining to Hunter Biden’s alleged involvement in foreign influence peddling schemes and corruption.

U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who was appointed special counsel in the case last month, filed the charges against the president’s scandal-ridden son in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware on September 14.

The four-page indictment charges Hunter Biden with two counts of making “false and fictitious” statements when stated he was not addicted to an illegal controlled substance while purchasing a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver in 2018. He is also charged with unlawful possession of the firearm while “an unlawful user of and addicted to” a “stimulant” or “narcotic drug.”

The younger Biden wrote in a 2021 autobiographical book that he had been addicted to crack cocaine at the time he purchased the firearm, The Daily Wire noted.

If convicted, Hunter Biden could face up to 10 years in prison.
