US court finds President Biden's son guilty

A US court has found President Biden's son, Hunter,guilty of lying about his drug use when buying a gun.

He has been found guilty on all three charges in a federal gun crime trial. The jury in Delaware found that he'd lied about his drug use on a form while buying a weapon in 2018.

He is the first child of a sitting president to be convicted in a federal court. How will this affect his father's re-election campaign?
