Jury seated in Hunter Biden’s federal gun trial
With the strike of a judge's gavel in Delaware, Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden, became the first child of a sitting president to be a criminal defendant.
Prosecutors allege the younger Biden, 54, lied about his drug use on application forms when he purchased a handgun in 2018.
Biden has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Opening statements in the case are expected to begin Tuesday after 12 jurors and four alternates were sworn in on Monday. 
The trial - which comes as his father campaigns for re-election - is likely to see prosecutors delve into graphic details of Mr Biden's crack cocaine addiction, potentially providing fodder for the president's political foes.
President Biden has repeatedly declined to comment on the court case, but he said in a statement on the morning of the trial's start that he has "boundless love" and "confidence" in his son.
"Hunter's resilience in the face of adversity and the strength he has brought to his recovery are inspiring to us," the elder Biden said. 
Here's what we know about the case.
What are the charges?
Biden is facing three federal charges in the case: two counts of making false statements and one count of illegal gun possession.
The charges all relate to his purchase of a revolver at a Delaware gun store in October 2018, which he kept for about 11 days.
By Biden's admission, he was deep in the throes of a "full-blown addiction" to crack cocaine at the time.
The two false statement charges stem from allegations that he lied about his drug use on a federally mandated form when he purchased the weapon.
