WASHINGTON (AP) — Hunter Biden has been indicted on federal firearms charges. A federal indictment filed in Delaware says Biden lied about his drug use when he bought a firearm in 2018 while struggling with addiction to crack cocaine. President Joe Biden’s son has also been investigated for his business dealings. The special counsel overseeing the case has indicated tax charges could be filed in Washington or California. Thursday’s indictment comes as congressional Republicans pursue an impeachment inquiry into the Democratic president, in large part over Hunter Biden’s business dealings. Defense attorneys argue part of a plea deal sparing Hunter Biden prosecution on the gun count if he stays out of trouble remains in place.
