The son of the president of the United States is set to go on trial on Monday for federal gun charges. Hunter Biden's attempt to halt the case has been denied by a Delaware judge. He has pleaded not guilty to three charges, including making false statements on a federal form during a gun purchase and unlawful possession of a firearm. If convicted, Hunter Biden could face a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.
The trial is expected to shed light on personal matters within the first family. Hunter's ex-wife and ex-girlfriend, Hallie Biden, are among the witnesses expected to testify. Hallie, who was previously married to Hunter's late brother Beau, is a key government witness in the case, alleged to have disposed of a gun purchased illegally by Hunter.
