Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, has been indicted on three federal firearms charges.
The decision came after efforts to reach a plea deal failed, leading to the first criminal prosecution of the child of a sitting president.
Hunter Biden has also been under investigation by federal prosecutors for his financial and business activities. Delaware federal judge David Weiss, who was appointed by the Justice Department as a special prosecutor in the case, referred to a request for indictments before Sept. 29 in a status report requested by Judge Maryellen Noreika.
Two charges relate to the president's son allegedly filing a form claiming he was not using illegal drugs at the time he purchased a revolver in October 2018, while the third alleges he possessed a firearm while using a narcotic.
