Hunter Biden guilty on all charges. Before we get started, please make sure you like

0:17
channel continue to grow. The Delaware jury came back very quickly. They started deliberations on
0:24
Friday, take a break for the weekend. Early Monday, they came back with a verdict on Hunter Biden
0:31
guilty on all charges of lying on an application to get a gun. So what happened basically was he
0:40
lied about being addicted to drugs when he purchased the firearm. Now he only owned the
0:46
firearm for 11 days, but that's irrelevant to the case. The prosecutors have proven their case
0:53
Now comes the sentencing. He could face as much as 25 years in prison. I'll go back to what I
1:01
originally said. I don't think the case against Trump in New York happens if his name is not Trump
1:07
I don't think this case against Hunter Biden happens if his name's not Biden, but if these
1:11
are the rules you want to play by, these are the rules we're gonna play by. There's a lot more to
1:16
the story. Let's take a look at this breaking report. She's joining us right now from Wilmington
1:21
Delaware. What's the latest you're hearing, Paula? Well, the jury has found Hunter Biden
1:28
the president's son, guilty on all three counts in this case after three hours of deliberation
1:35
Count one is a false statement in the purchase of a firearm. Count two is false statement related
1:40
to information required to be kept by a federal firearms license dealer. Count three is possession
1:47
of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user or addicted to a controlled substance
1:53
So he has been found guilty on all three counts. Now the jury here is comprised of six men and six
2:00
women. It is a majority black jury. This is day seven of this historic trial. This is the first
2:06
time that the child of a sitting president has faced a criminal prosecution. This is the first
2:13
of two criminal trials that he will face after a plea deal that he negotiated fell apart. Now
2:19
over the past seven days, he has enjoyed enormous support from his family, including his stepmother
2:25
the first lady of the United States, who has been here for many days during this trial
2:30
Other family members, friends of the family, clergy members. He has had dozens of people here
2:35
showing support for him. And it was notable yesterday that at the beginning of the prosecutors
2:40
a closing argument, they pointed to the gallery where the first lady has been sitting and said
2:44
those people, they don't matter. What matters here is the evidence. And here the jury believes
2:50
that the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Hunter Biden was guilty of all three
2:56
of these crimes. Now, the most difficult challenge for prosecutors Wolf was proving
3:01
that Hunter Biden knowingly lied throughout the course of this process, that he was aware of the
3:06
fact that he was either using or addicted to drugs. And they pointed yesterday to the fact
3:12
that shortly before he purchased this gun, that he had been recently in rehab. So prosecutors said
3:17
look, if he hadn't just been to rehab, maybe we could buy the idea that he was
