Hunter Biden to be sentenced in November on **** charges

Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, will be sentenced on November 13 after a jury found him guilty of federal **** charges, according to a court filing.

Hunter Biden became the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a felony on June 11 when a jury in Wilmington, Delaware, found him guilty on three counts related to his lying about ******** ***** use when he purchased a handgun in 2018.

The sentencing by US District Judge Maryellen Noreika will take place eight days after the November 5 presidential election pitting Vice President Kamala Harris against *********** nominee Donald Trump.

Sentencing guidelines for the **** charges are 15 to 21 months but legal experts say defendants in similar cases often get shorter sentences and are less likely to be incarcerated if they abide by the terms of their pre-trial release.

Joe Biden issued a statement following the verdict saying he accepted the outcome of the case.

The president, who dropped his re-election bid last month, has said in the past he will not use the powers of his office to pardon his son or lessen his sentence.

At the trial, prosecutors offered an intimate view of Hunter Biden’s years of struggle with alcohol and ****** ******** ******, which they said legally precluded him from buying a ****.

Biden’s lawyers sought to show he was not using drugs when he bought the **** and did not intend to deceive because he did not consider himself a ***** user when he filled out the form.

Hunter Biden has also been charged with three felony and six misdemeanour tax offences in California, alleging he ******* to pay $US1.4 million ($A2.1 million) in taxes between 2016 and 2019 while spending millions on drugs, escorts, exotic cars and other high-ticket items.

He has pleaded not guilty to those charges.

A trial is scheduled for September 5 in Los Angeles.
