WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden abruptly altered his schedule Tuesday afternoon to head home to Wilmington, Delaware, hours after his son, Hunter Biden, was found guilty on gun possession charges.

Joe Biden was to be in Washington, D.C., all day, but hours after a federal jury in Wilmington returned a guilty verdict on all three counts, the White House announced that he would leave the Washington Hilton, where he is set to deliver remarks at a gun violence conference, and go directly to Joint Base Andrews. From there he is to fly to Wilmington.
