President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, will be sentenced on November 13 after he was found guilty on federal gun charges in June, according to court documents obtained by Politico. Hunter was found guilty on counts of lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, making a false claim on the application by saying he was not a drug user and illegally having the gun for 11 days, according to the Associated Press.
