Biden's three charges are related to his alleged false statements in the purchase of a firearm and he faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted on the charges, according to the court documents.
The indictment notes two of the charges are related to the fact that Hunter Biden lied about not using illegal drugs when completing a gun purchase form for a Colt Cobra revolver. The third charge relates to the actual possession of a weapon while using narcotics.
According to the state prosecutors' line of inquiry, the crimes were committed by the US president's son in October 2018.
In the wake of the judicial decision, the Biden camp has argue that the indictment was politically motivated and "unconstitutional," stances which lawyers vow to prove at trial.
The Thursday indictment came weeks after an earlier plea agreement on tax and gun charges tied to Hunter fell apart in July after the presiding judge raised concerns about the terms of the deal.
