- Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has been summoned to appear in a federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, on Oct. 3 to face gun-related charges, as ordered by a judge on Wednesday. This marks the first time a sitting U.S. president’s child is facing prosecution.
- Hunter Biden, aged 53, was indicted last week on allegations of providing false information on a firearm acquisition form in 2018 and illegally possessing the firearm while being a drug user. His legal counsel has stated his intention to plead not guilty.
- In an attempt to avoid traveling to Delaware for the in-person hearing, Hunter Biden had requested to participate via video, citing logistical challenges. However, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika denied this request.
