Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Biden, faced trial on the 3rd for allegedly illegally possessing a firearm, marking the first time in U.S. history that a sitting president's child has stood trial. If convicted, Hunter could face up to 25 years in prison.

Hunter, Joe Biden's second son, holds a law degree from Yale University and had worked as a lobbyist before transitioning to become an artist. He has been embroiled in numerous controversies and legal issues, often linked to alcohol abuse and crack cocaine. Previous scandals have also included addiction, substance abuse, tax evasion, etc.

The trial will take place in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware. He faces three charges, two of which involve false statements. The Department of Justice is charging him for lying about not using illegal drugs at the time of purchasing the gun in 2018, failing to accurately report it on the purchase documents. The third charge relates to the illegal possession of the firearm during an 11-day period in October 2018, which, given Hunter's history of drug abuse, his possession of the firearm itself may be a violation of the law.

The courtroom proceedings will delve into the privacy of the entire Biden family, potentially impacting Biden's electoral prospects.
