WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Hunter Biden is due back in a Delaware courtroom. He’s expected to plead not guilty Tuesday to federal firearms charges that emerged after his earlier deal collapsed. The president’s son is facing charges that he lied about his drug use in October 2018 on a form to buy a gun that he kept for about 11 days. He’s acknowledged struggling with an addiction to crack cocaine during that period, but his lawyers have said he didn’t break the law. Gun charges like these are rare, and an appeals court has found the ban on drug users having guns violates the Second Amendment under new Supreme Court standards.
