A prosecutor has said that “no one is above the law” as he urged jurors to convict US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter on charges that he lied about his drug use when he bought a gun in 2018.

The evidence is “overwhelming” that Hunter Biden knew he was in the throes of a crack addiction when he marked on a mandatory gun-purchase form that he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs, prosecutor Leo Wise told jurors in his closing argument.
