Hunter Biden was convicted on three felonies after he lied on a federal form to purchase a gun in Delaware .

He could have faced up to 25 years in prison, though as a first -time offender he likely would have gotten far less time or avoided prison entirely.

Prosecutors opposed dismissing the case, arguing a pardon shouldn’t wipe away the case “as if it never occurred”.
