Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to tax charges earlier in September, and was found guilty of being an illegal drug user in possession of a gun in June - becoming the first child of a sitting president to be a convicted of a crime. (My bold.)

Is there a typo in the expression in bold?
 
Yes. Delete the first 'a'.
