Update: Hunter Biden, the smartest man his father knows, has been convicted on all three felony gun charges.
According to AP, Hunter stared straight ahead and showed little emotion as the verdict was read. The judge has since excused the jurors.
A sentencing date has not yet been set, but prepare to be bombarded with "I wasn't aware Hunter was running for president" from the left.

The jury in Hunter Biden's federal gun trial have reached a verdict after two days of deliberations.
The 12-member jury will decide whether the 1st son is guilty of three charges related to a 2018 purchase of a gun, which prosecutors say violated federal law because he was addicted to crack cocaine at the time. Hunter has pleaded not guilty.
If convicted on all three counts, he could face up to 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000.
The case marks the first time in US history that the child of a sitting president has gone on trial. The indictment was brought by special counsel David Weiss, who was appointed last year to oversee various Hunter Biden probes.
The first two charges in the three-count indictment are related to the gun purchase itself - specifically, Hunter has been charged with lying on forms required by the ATF. The questions include: "Have you been convicted of a felony? Are you a fugitive? Are you in the country unlawfully? And, importantly for this case, are you an “unlawful user of, or addicted to” illegal drugs?" Hunter checked "No" to the last question.
The third count relates to the possession of a gun - as it's also against federal law to do so if you are abusing drugs. Hunter had the gun for 11 days in October 2018 before his sister-in-law-turned-lover Hallie Biden tossed it in a dumpster because she was worried about his mental health according to the indictment and texts made public in court filings.
According to CNN (so who knows), here's a breakdown of the jury:
