The president’s son’s plea kicks off an effort to beat an indictment from the Justice Department and sets the case on a potential track for a trial next year.

Biden is charged with lying about his drug use on a form to buy a gun in 2018. If he is found guilty on the three gun-related charges, he could face up to 25 years in prison, though the Justice Department has said any sentence would likely fall short of that maximum penalty.
