CNN —A federal jury has convicted Hunter Biden on all three federal felony gun charges he faced, concluding that he violated laws meant to prevent drug addicts from owning firearms.
Leaving the courthouse after the verdict, Hunter Biden shuffled his family members into an elevator as he held hands with his wife.
The weeklong gun trial featured intensely personal and gut-wrenching testimony about Hunter Biden’s well-known struggles with alcoholism and crack cocaine addiction.
Hunter Biden’s defense team argued, unsuccessfully, that he didn’t view himself as a user or addict when he bought and possessed the gun.
Defense attorney Abbe Lowell had implored the jury to acquit Hunter Biden on those grounds.
