The three felony counts on which Hunter Biden was convicted -- all related to his purchase of a firearm in 2018 while allegedly addicted to drugs -- are as follows:

Count 1: False statement in purchase of a firearm.

Count 2: False statement related to information required to be kept by federal firearms licensed dealer.

Count 3: Possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.

President Joe Biden said in a statement after the verdict, "As I said last week, I am the President, but I am also a Dad. Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today."

"So many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery," he said.

"As I also said last week, I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal," the president said. "Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support. Nothing will ever change that."

In July 2023, a plea deal struck between Hunter Biden and prosecutors that could have precluded this week's trial dramatically fell apart amid the judge's concerns over the terms of the agreement.

For the better part of three hours, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika scrutinized nearly every facet of the plea deal. Noreika acknowledged that her probing threw "a little bit of a curveball" into the proceeding.

Hunter Biden had originally agreed to a pretrial diversion on the gun charges, with the charges being dropped if he adhered to certain terms. He had also agreed to acknowledge his failure to pay taxes on income he received in 2017 and 2018. In exchange, prosecutors would have recommended probation on those charges.

Democrats had hailed the deal as a sign of accountability while Republicans panned the details as a "sweetheart deal."

Hunter Biden appeared stunned when the verdict was read, showing absolutely no reaction when the first "guilty" was announced.

Then, he nodded "yes" as the word guilty was read for a second time. He nodded once more when the third one was read.

Hunter Biden then immediately he turned to those around him. He patted his attorney Abbe Lowell on the back and hugged one of his paralegals, and when the jury left, he smiled as he hugged his lawyer again.

He then turned to his family, moving into the gallery where he hugged his wife and gave her a kiss.

After the reading of the verdict, Hunter Biden left court holding hands with his stepmother, first lady Jill Biden, and his wife, Melissa Cohen Biden.

His aunt and uncle, Valerie Biden and James Biden, were also at the courthouse on Tuesday.

Hunter Biden spent the first day of his gun trial taking notes, reading documents placed in front of him by his attorneys, and often turning to catch a glimpse of the friends and family who came to court to support him.

At one point, he nodded along as a prospective juror spoke about her friend's overdose after addiction.

Jill Biden was seated behind Hunter Biden all day, and she watched attentively as some jurors told the court that they had such a skewed view of her family that they could not be impartial. The first lady did not appear to react in those moments, but at times her daughter Ashley Biden placed her hand on the first lady's back in support.

Hunter Biden's family members also appeared to be actively involved with his defense strategy -- at one point standing up and huddling with Hunter Biden's attorneys Abbe Lowell and David Kolansky after a sidebar.

When court was dismissed, Jill Biden gave Hunter Biden a hug and a kiss before he walked out hand-in-hand with his wife.
