Hunter Biden pleads not guilty to gun charges in Delaware court

President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to charges that he lied about his drug use while buying a handgun, in the first-ever criminal prosecution of a sitting U.S. president's child.

Hunter Biden, 53, was charged last month with three counts related to lying on a federal form to acquire a Colt Cobra handgun in 2018 and for being an illegal drug user in possession of the gun.

Biden wore a dark suit and tie during his appearance at the federal courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware, which lasted 25 minutes. "Yes your honor," he said after U.S. Magistrate Judge Christopher Burke asked how he pleaded. He arrived at the courthouse in a motorcade of six black sedans.
