US President Joe Biden's son Hunter hit with criminal firearms charges

US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter has been charged with three criminal counts related to firearms possession, a United States court document showed.

In Thursday’s indictment, prosecutors accused Hunter of making false statements related to drug use in order to acquire a firearm in 2018.

The indictment, which was brought by US Special Counsel David Weiss in federal court in Delaware, comes after a deal for Hunter to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and enroll in a programme to avoid prosecution on a gun-related charge collapsed in July.
