WASHINGTON: A new problem has arisen for US President Joe Biden as his son Hunter Biden has been indicted for illegally buying a gun.

According to foreign media, Hunter Biden was indicted for illegally buying a gun 5 years ago, and at that time he admitted that he was a heavy drug user. Hunter Biden was charged with two counts of falsely stating on a form that he did not use drugs when he bought a gun in Delaware, the report said.

The second charge against the US president’s son is that he illegally possessed a gun based on a false statement, which carries a 10-year prison sentence. Hunter Biden was sued by U.S. Justice Department attorney David Weiss, who has been under investigation since 2018.

According to the report, two months before the development, Hunter Biden and David Weiss had sought a deal, which included gun ownership as well as alleged tax evasion, but the deal fell apart over whether the president The son may face additional charges.

In July of this year, Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to two minor tax-related charges. In response, he was offered supervision, which he had already completed, which the government was combining with other punishments, the submitted report said.

In the same agreement, David Weiss agreed to suspend the gun charges against Hunterbiden if he completes a phase of counseling or rehabilitation before trial.
