Hunter Biden, the son of PresidentJoe Biden, was indicted Thursday on federal gun charges.
Federal prosecutors already indicated earlier this month that they were moving to charge Biden on the charges.
He pleaded not guilty in July to misdemeanor tax charges after a plea agreement fell apart.

As part of that deal, Biden would have entered a diversion program in lieu of the gun charges.
Prosecutors allege that Biden made false statements in the purchase of a firearm in 2018.
Biden was charged with three counts in the case.
The deal would likely have allowed Hunter Biden to avoid jail time.
But that deal fell apart at a Delaware federal court hearing in July.
Weiss has since been named a special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Hunter Bidens attorneys have maintained that the deal with prosecutors on the gun charges is still in effect.
