Hunter Biden was found guilty on three federal felony gun charges in a high-profile case this week.
The verdict was delivered as his father, President Joe Biden, prepared to address gun control issues, creating a poignant juxtaposition.
In an interview with Fox News (see above), Former federal prosecutor Katie Cherkasky, who was not surprised by the verdict, emphasized that the overwhelming evidence presented by the prosecution made the guilty decision inevitable.
Hunter Biden, who faced charges related to his gun purchase during a period of extensive drug use (crack cocaine), might avoid jail due to this being his first non-violent offense, she said.
However, the convictions could impact Hunter Biden significantly as he approaches a tax trial, where he faces harsher penalties. Being a felon now could expose him to potential incarceration if found guilty in the tax case.

Cherkasky highlighted the irony in the situation, noting the peculiar timing of President Biden’s gun control speech.
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms also pointed out the contradiction between the president’s longstanding anti-gun advocacy and the ineffectiveness of these laws in preventing his son’s illegal actions.
In a statement obtained by GunsAmerica, CCRKBA said:
At some point President Biden must reflect on his half-century of gun control extremism and acknowledge that none of the laws he championed prevented his son from illegally buying a gun and being convicted of the crime in a Delaware courtroom. Meanwhile, millions of American citizens who have committed no crimes are nevertheless penalized daily by the laws and regulations the president and his anti-run-rights allies have supported in the misguided belief they have the moral high ground. Today proved otherwise.
This case has sparked broader discussions about the ineffectiveness of gun control and legal accountability, particularly concerning high-profile individuals.
