Hunter Biden was accused of making false statements when purchasing weapons in October 2018 and concealing his drug addiction at the time. He could face up to 25 years in prison.

However, it is unclear how severe a sentence the judge responsible would hand down, as Hunter Biden has no criminal record.

The US president previously said that he would not pardon his son in the event of a conviction. - BERNAMA-dpa
