WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s son Hunter is headed to trial on federal gun charges in a case brought by his father’s Justice Department. The trial is set to open Monday in Delaware with jury selection. The case isn’t about Hunter Biden’s business dealings, which have been the focus of a lengthy federal investigation and an impeachment inquiry into the Democratic president by congressional Republicans. Prosecutors say Hunter Biden bought the gun illegally in October 2018 because he falsely swore on a federal form that he wasn’t a drug user. His lawyers say he never fired the gun and that it ended up dumped in a trash can.
