The son of US President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, has been charged with one count of making a false statement in connection with a firearm transaction. The charge was announced on Thursday, and it occurred in October 2018. According to the court documents, Biden made the false statement in connection with his purchase of a firearm from a licensed dealer.
Before a person can purchase a firearm, they must first complete a form that asks about their past use of illicit substances or addictive behavior. According to the indictment, Hunter Biden was aware that he was not a user of illicit drugs when he bought the gun, but he still signed the form.\

Three separate charges were brought against Biden. One of these is accusing him of intentionally making a false statement on the form 4473, which indicated that he was not an addict or user of illicit drugs. He knew that this statement was untrue. The other count involves him making a false representation to a licensed firearms dealer.
One of the charges that was brought against Biden is accusing him of possessing a firearm while he was an illegal user of illicit substances. It states that from October 12, 2018, to October 23, 2018, he possessed the Colt Cobra revolver.
This indictment was signed by David Weiss, the special counsel for the investigation. The developments surrounding Biden have been ongoing for some time now. The seriousness of the charges has been added to the matter.
It is very disappointing to see the latest scandal involving the Biden family, but it is important to keep in mind that everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The indictment raises questions about Hunter Biden's character, and it shows that he has a long history of problems with the law. It's important that the justice system is carried out properly, and the American people have faith that their leaders are held accountable. More updates on this matter will be announced as the investigation continues.
