In a statement accompanying the agreement, Mr. Biden admitted using crack and powder cocaine starting in 2016 and becoming "a habitual user" the following year.
AD. Mr. Biden possessed the gun from Oct. 12 to Oct. 23 before it was discarded in a trashcan outside a supermarket in Delaware, according to the statement.
