With these convictions, Hunter Biden could be sentenced to\u200d up to 25 years in prison and fined up to $750,000.

Additionally, a perjury investigation into Hunter \u2064Biden\u200d might\u200b commence following a referral by Congress, which Turley views as a strong case. This development occurs amid expectations that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland will address these legal \u2063matters.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p>George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley said that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/hunter-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hunter Biden<\/a> being found guilty of felony weapons charges this week changes things for him moving forward in his other criminal cases.<\/p>\n<p>A federal grand jury convicted Hunter Biden, 54, on all three felony counts, including lying to a federally licensed firearms dealer, making a false claim on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-responds-to-hunter-biden-indictment-with-major-allegation-the-only-crime-that-does-not-implicate-crooked-joe\/\" title=\"Trump accuses Hunter Biden of committing the only crime that doesn't involve Joe Biden.\">federal firearms background check form<\/a>, and being in possession of an illegally obtained firearm. Hunter Biden faces up to 25 years in prison for his crimes and up to $750,000 in fines.<\/p>\n<p>Turley said that the verdict changes things for Hunter Biden in his upcoming federal trial in California for alleged tax crimes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis counsel has got to refocus on that tax case, they are going into that case now with a convicted felon,\u201d Turley said. \u201cNow, these are very different types of claims, but there is a third front developing. Congress just referred what I consider to be a very strong case for a perjury investigation of Hunter Biden after his testimony before Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turley said that the expectation exists that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, who was nominated by Biden, is \u201cgoing to basically scuttle that referral.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the problem is that the House seems to have Hunter Biden dead to rights \u2026 on those perjury claims,\u201d Turley said. \u201cIt is hard to see how what he said before Congress was true. It is a much more serious offense. It is currently sitting on the desk of Merrick Garland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1712932862202000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0plT8RRdMy9XUpIhocnjQS\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Turley said that the allegations in the tax case are \u201cmuch more serious\u201d and could be enhanced now since Hunter Biden is a convicted felon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for Hunter Biden, this may prove the least of his problems, you know, the chances that he goes to jail, probably are low, but I would not dismiss them,\u201d Turley said. \u201cThe problem with a jury nullification strategy is it can tick off a judge. This was a case of overwhelming evidence, and it seemed pretty clear to everyone that the defense was going for a nullification. That may not sit well with the judge. But even if she imposed jail time, it would be relatively short, the tax case, not so much. That is a much more serious set of allegations where jail time can be more substantial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">WATCH: Jonathan Turley explains how Hunter Biden is going to appeal his guilty verdict: Hunter is \u201cchallenging this gun law that his father has been a great advocate of and has actually called for greater punishment for these types of gun violations.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/L2N8PUzdky\">pic.twitter.com\/L2N8PUzdky<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SteveGuest\/status\/1800613733774889393?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 11, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, stated that Hunter Biden&#8217;s recent felony weapons charges conviction will impact his future criminal cases.
