Legal scrutiny shifts to Hunter Biden; federal trial for president’s son begins Monday in Delaware

Hunter Biden says it’s unheard of for anyone to be charged with gun crimes for the kind of behavior he engaged in.

Tell that to David Jon Ray, an Illinois businessman who failed to pay taxes over three years and, when authorities moved to investigate him, admitted he was a habitual cocaine user with a penchant for guns.

He earned a 37-month federal prison sentence for those offenses.

Mr. Biden, who also faces a battery of tax and gun possession charges, goes on trial in a federal court in Delaware on Monday for the gun charges.

The president’s son is accused of possessing a revolver while a user of unlawful drugs, and of lying about his drug habit while going through the federal firearms purchase background check.
