These were the allegations against Hunter Biden
Hunter Biden has been convicted in two cases, in one of which he was accused of giving false information in a form and purchasing a Colt Cobra revolver. The third case against him was that he had a gun while consuming drugs. In fact, while purchasing any gun in America, a mandatory question is asked to the buyer whether he is a drug addict or not. Hunter had given the wrong answer to this question.
Hunter's lawyer gave this argument
Hunter's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, said during the trial that Hunter had only been drinking alcohol, not using cocaine, according to NBC News. According to the lawyer, he had smoked crack in the months before and after the gun sale, but he was not addicted to it when he bought the gun, so he did not make any false statements. However, prosecutors refuted this claim using excerpts from Hunter Biden's books, in which he described in detail his struggle with alcohol and drug addiction.
