Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on the verdict of Hunter Biden's trial

Published: June 11, 2024, 8:29 p.m.

Another legal first in the United States as Hunter Biden's found guilty of three criminal gun offences.

It's the first time the child of a sitting President's been found guilty of a crime, and comes only weeks after Donald Trump made history as the first former President with a criminal conviction.

The younger Biden could face up to 25 years in prison.

US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that Joe Biden issued a statement immediately after the verdict.\xa0

He says Biden stands by his son and accepts the outcome, writing he's proud of the man his son is, and he respects the judicial process.\xa0
