The charges against Hunter Biden related to a gun background check are set to be nullified following a presidential pardon by his father, President Joe Biden. The decision came as the judge announced that the charges will be dismissed once the pardon is formally entered into the court record.

In June, Hunter Biden had been found guilty by a jury of making false statements during a gun background check and was facing an impending sentencing.
