The charges stemmed from an incident where Mr. Biden allegedly obtained a firearm while ineligible due to a past drug problem.

The trial, which lasted for two weeks, saw key witnesses like Mr. Biden's ex-wife and a former girlfriend testify about finding drug paraphernalia.

The defense argued that the case was politically motivated and the evidence against Mr. Biden was circumstantial.
