Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Lower Courts had jurisdiction to decide the case based on Rehaif v. United States, 139 S. Ct. 814 (2019), and the government never proved nor verified that the petitioner knew he could not possess a firearm, and the jury never proved the four elements required to convict based on Rehaif's requirements
