President Biden’s Son Found Guilty in Gun Crimes Trial
US President Joe Biden has acknowledged the jury’s decision to find his son, Hunter Biden, guilty of gun-related offenses after a high-profile trial in Delaware.
The 12-member jury convicted Hunter Biden, 54, for falsifying information about his drug use while purchasing a firearm in 2018, marking a significant legal setback for the Biden family.
President Biden, who did not attend the trial, expressed love and pride for his son, affirming that he would accept the trial’s outcome and continue to honor the judicial process as Hunter potentially plans an appeal.
The trial reportedly shed light on Hunter Biden’s past drug addiction issues, with testimonies from individuals such as ex-wife Kathleen Buhle and former girlfriend Zoe Kestan providing insight into his struggles with substance abuse.
Following the verdict, political reactions swiftly emerged, with Republicans seizing the opportunity to demand further investigations into what they termed as the ‘Bidens’ corrupt influence peddling schemes.’,
Democrats, on the other hand, highlighted the importance of respecting the US justice system and noted the contrast between the parties’ responses to legal matters involving political figures.
Notably, President Biden’s aides disclosed that the trial and its aftermath have taken a toll on the President, who closely monitored the case, even while on official trips overseas.
Despite the emotional strain, President Biden remains committed to supporting his son and respecting the legal processes ahead, as Hunter faces potential sentencing and ongoing legal challenges.
