The gun case against Hunter Biden was dismissed on Tuesday by a federal judge following President Joe Biden's pardon for his son.
Hunter Biden was scheduled to be sentenced next week, but U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika had decided to closed the case.
The president's son could have faced up to 25 years in prison, but he likely would have received a lighter sentence given his status as a first-time offender.
This is a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.
