Fact Check: Was Biden Family Acquaintance Picked for Hunter Biden Jury?

Hunter Biden is standing trial this week on federal charges of illegally possessing a firearm after allegedly lying about his status as a drug user when buying a pistol in 2018.

President Joe Biden's son has previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, saying that he entered a rehab program before purchasing the firearm and checked off "no" on a federal form that asked whether he was an "unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance."

The trial, which began on Monday, quickly seated jurors, although the selection process and the reporting around it was questioned by commentators following proceedings.
