Will Hunter Biden's guilty verdicts in his criminal gun charges trial impact his father's 2024 election rematch with former President Trump?
President Biden issued a heartfelt statement after his sole surviving son was convicted in federal court in Delaware. 'I am the President, but I am also a Dad. Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today,' Biden said Tuesday minutes after Hunter Biden was found guilty by a federal jury on criminal gun charges. The younger Biden was convicted on three counts tied to his October 2018 purchase and possession of a revolver while using illegal drugs.
Today’s conviction of Hunter Biden on all counts is unlikely to have much impact on the presidential campaign,' veteran New Hampshire-based political scientist and New England College president Wayne Lesperance told Fox News. Lesperance said that 'while they share the same last name, Hunter is not Joe and voters will not hold the father accountable for the crimes of the son.
Prosecutors in the case – which was the first trial of a former or current president in the nation's history – argued that this amounted to illegally seeking to influence the 2016 election. Trump repeatedly claimed, without providing concrete evidence, that the trial was a 'political Witch Hunt' orchestrated by the president and the Justice Department.
