3:32Now PlayingHunter Biden has been found guilty on all three charges in his federal gun trial, becoming the first son of a sitting US president to be receive a criminal conviction.
Prosecutors said Biden, 54, had lied about his drug use on a federal form when he bought a handgun in 2018.
Biden pleaded not guilty, claiming he was in recovery from drug addiction at the time and therefore did not lie on the gun application form.
A panel of 12 Delaware jurors reached their verdict after about three hours of deliberations. Biden showed little emotion as he learned his fate. He stared ahead with arms folded before turning around to hug some of the associates on his legal team.
He faced two charges related to lying about his drug use on a federal background check, and one for possessing a gun while addicted to or using drugs.
