Now his son is in trouble.

..............Robertson's lawyers argued unsuccessfully for his release. They claimed he is an "antique gun lover" and that the rifle in his bedroom was from World War II. They also said the alleged pipe bomb was "inert" and meant for training, because Robertson was a law enforcement instructor.
He pleaded not guilty to four counts, including felony obstruction of congressional proceedings.

The case took a turn last week when Robertson's son took the stand and testified that the M4 rifle belonged to him. The son, Hunter Robertson, also claimed under oath that FBI agents "did not" ask him about the rifle when they interviewed him while searching the house.
Prosecutor Elizabeth Aloi disputed the son's claim about the FBI and said he "has now given inconsistent statements to law enforcement," raising the possibility that he broke the law by lying. The judge said, "his testimony may incriminate him," and told the son to hire an attorney.
