Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, has been indicted on federal firearms charges, AP News reports.
The charges revolve around allegations that Hunter Biden provided false information about his drug use when buying a firearm in 2018.
The indictment has come after the collapse of a plea deal that would have avoided a criminal trial.
This legal battle is unfolding in the midst of a political fight, with the House launching an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
However, no substantial evidence has emerged thus far linking President Biden to any wrongdoing involving Hunter’s business dealings.
