DAVID MUIR: Good evening and we begin tonight with the historic verdict. For the first time, the child of a sitting president has been convicted of a felony. Hunter Biden found guilty on all three felony counts for lying on a federal form about his drug use when he bought a gun in 2018. Hunter Biden had that gun for 11 days. His candor about his battle with addiction used against him in court. After the verdict today, Hunter Biden seen leaving the courthouse holding his wife's hand and holding the First Lady's hand, as well. Jill Biden was there every day but one as her son was on trial. Tonight here, we take you inside the jury room. Two jurors, and what they revealed to ABC News. That the jury at first was split right down the middle, 6-6, on whether to convict. So, what changed overnight, deliberating two hours this morning and then convicting on all counts? Tonight, President Biden issuing a statement, saying, "I am the president, but also a dad. Jill and I love our son and we are so proud of the man he is today." Adding that so many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love come out the other side. Late today, you see the president greeted right there in Delaware by Hunter, his wife, and the president’s grandson, Beau.
