after deliberating for just under three hours over two days, the jury found him guilty of three felony counts for illegally possessing a gun while he was addicted to crack cocaine and for making false statements about using drugs when he bought the firearm in october 2018. we spoke to juror number 10, who asked not to be identified. >> when you first got the case, how split was the jury? >> we took a vote, and the vote revealed it was 6-6. it was a split decision. >> reporter: he told us after combing through all the evidence, the jury was quick to make a decision. >> the biggest thing that he did was lied about not being a drug addict and not using cocaine and buying a gun. >> reporter: several women in hunter biden's life took the stand during the week-long trial, which exposed the depths of hunter biden's drug addiction, including his former lover, hallie biden, the widow of his brother, beau, who said

she found the gun in hunter's truck near drug residue. surveillance video showed her throwing it away in a dumpster. but legal experts say the most damaging testimony was hunter biden's own words from his memoir, "beautiful things". >> all my energy revolved around smoking drugs and making arrangements to buy drugs, feeding the beast. >> reporter: special counsel david weiss, who oversaw the investigation into hunter biden, said no one is above the law. >> ultimately this case was not just about addiction. this case was about the illegal choices defendant made while in the throes of addiction. >> reporter: president biden, who after the verdict changed his schedule so he could rush to hunter's side in delaware, said in a statement, "i am the pesident, but i am also a dad. jill and i love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today." hunter biden faces up to 25 years in prison although that's

unlikely for a first-time offender. the judge did not set a date for sentencing but said it usually happens about four months from the verdict, putting it just weeks from the november presidential election. president biden has said he will not pardon his son. weijia jiang, cbs news, wilmington, delaware. eight men, all suspected terrorists, arrested by immigration police in new york, l.a., and philadelphia, are now pending deportation. the fbi says the men have potential ties to isis and they all came into the country across the southern border. cbs's errol barnett has more. >> reporter: eight individuals, all from the central asian country of tajikistan, were arrested in los angeles, new york, and philadelphia. they entered the united states this year and in 2023, crossing the mexican border. they were vetted and allowed to remain in the country. cbs news has learned further

investigation uncovered the men had possible ties to isis-k, the terror group which claimed responsibility for an attack at a moscow concert hall that killed more than 140 people earlier this year. the fbi used a wiretap to track the men, and sources say what they discovered led authorities to quickly arrest them on immigration charges. >> typically, bringing individuals in on immigration-related charges is the quickest and easiest way to take individuals back into custody, but that does not rule out dditional terrorism-related charges further down the road. >> reporter: fbi director christopher wray warned earlier this year of a heightened threat level with thousands of people crossing the southern border. >> our most immediate concern has been that individuals or small groups will draw some kind of twisted inspiration from the events in the middle east to carry out attacks here at home. >> reporter: sources tell cbs

what happens next? terror alert in the u.s. as six men with suspected ties to isis are rounded up for deportation. and it's not all fun in the sun for people in florida right now as a massive storm blows in from the gulf. hunter biden will now face sentencing after his conviction on three felony firearms charges that put a spotlight on his drug-using past. a jury in wilmington, delaware, found the president's only surviving son guilty of lying on an application to purchase a firearm in 2018. after the verdict, an emotional reunion for the biden family. the president making an unexpected stop before heading overseas. cbs's weijia jiang reports from outside the courthouse. >> reporter: hunter biden left court holding hands with his wife and the first lady, dr. jill biden, just after hearing the verdict. he stood in court, stared straight ahead, showing little emotion. after deliberating for just

under three hours over two days, the jury found him guilty of three felony counts for illegally possessing a gun while he was addicted to crack cocaine and for making false statements about using drugs when he bought the firearm in october 2018. we spoke to juror number 10, who asked not to be identified. >> when you first got the case, how split was the jury? >> we took a vote, and the vote revealed it was 6-6. it was a split decision. >> reporter: he told us after combing through all the evidence, the jury was quick to make a decision. >> the biggest thing that he did was lied about not being a drug addict and not using cocaine and buying a gun. >> reporter: several women in hunter biden's life took the stand during the week-long trial, which exposed the depths of hunter biden's drug addiction, including his former lover, hallie biden, the widow of his brother, beau, who said

she found the gun in hunter's truck near drug residue. surveillance video showed her throwing it away in a dumpster. but legal experts say the most damaging testimony was hunter biden's own words from his memoir, "beautiful things." >> all my energy revolved around smoking drugs and making arrangements to buy drugs, feeding the beast. >> reporter: special counsel david weiss, who oversaw the investigation into hunter biden, said no one is above the law. >> ultimately this case was not just about addiction. this case was about the illegal choices defendant made while in the throes of addiction. >> reporter: president biden, who after the verdict changed his schedule so he could rush to hunter's side in delaware, said in a statement, "i am the president, but i am also a dad. jill and i love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today." hunter biden faces up to 25 years in prison although that's unlikely for a first-time

investigation uncovered the men had possible ties to isis-k, the terror group which claimed responsibility for an attack at a moscow concert hall that killed more than 140 people earlier this year. the fbi used a wiretap to track the men, and sources say what they discovered led authorities to quickly arrest them on immigration charges. >> typically, bringing individuals in on immigration-related charges is the quickest and easiest way to take individuals back into custody, but that does not rule out additional terrorism-related charges further down the road. >> reporter: fbi director christopher wray warned earlier this year of a heightened threat level with thousands of people crossing the southern border. >> our most immediate concern has been that individuals or small groups will draw some kind of twisted inspiration from the events in the middle east to carry out attacks here at home.
