WASHINGTON (AP) — Hunter Biden is set to be sentenced on felony firearms charges in November. Under an order signed by a judge on Friday, the president’s son could face up to 25 years in prison at sentencing set for Nov. 13, but as a first-time offender he is likely to get far less time or avoid prison entirely. Hunter Biden was convicted of three felonies after lying on a federal form to purchase the gun by saying he wasn’t a drug user in 2018.
