Wilmington, DE – Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, faced a dramatic conclusion to his week-long trial on Tuesday after being found guilty on three federal gun charges. This marks the first criminal prosecution of a sitting president’s child, intensifying pressure on President Biden amidst his re-election campaign.
Family Support:
President Biden, away on official duties during most of the trial, hurried back to Wilmington immediately after the verdict. He was captured embracing his son on the tarmac in a poignant moment. First Lady Jill Biden, a constant presence at the trial along with other family members, provided unwavering support to Hunter throughout the proceedings.
In his first public remarks post-verdict, President Biden expressed both love and respect for his son, stating, “Jill and I love our son, and we are immensely proud of the man he is today.” He reiterated his commitment to respecting the judicial process, emphasizing his decision not to pardon his son.

Political Fallout:
The conviction has reignited attacks from President Biden’s political adversaries. Former President Donald Trump and Republican allies seized on the verdict to renew their criticism of the Biden family. Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s campaign national press secretary, labeled the trial a “distraction” from what she termed the “real crimes of the Biden Crime Family.”
Republicans, including House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, echoed these sentiments, describing the verdict as a step towards accountability and demanding further investigations into the Bidens’ alleged corrupt influence peddling schemes. However, years of GOP investigations have yet to yield concrete evidence implicating President Biden in any criminal wrongdoing.
Mixed Reactions from Republicans:
Not all Republicans viewed the verdict as a significant victory. Some, like Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, dismissed the charges as “kinda dumb,” while others suggested the trial was a ploy to create an illusion of fairness in the justice system. Hard-right figures and Trump allies argued that the gun charges were a distraction from more serious allegations related to Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
Democratic Silence:
Democratic lawmakers have refrained from commenting on the trial and its outcome. They continue to focus on broader legislative agendas, with some indirectly addressing the issue, like Rep. Jared Moskowitz, who called for continued investigations with a hint of sarcasm.
Ongoing Legal Battles:
Hunter Biden’s legal challenges are far from over. He faces another trial in California later this year on charges of failing to pay $1.4 million in income taxes. If convicted, he could face up to 17 years in prison, adding further complications to President Biden’s re-election bid.
The conviction of Hunter Biden is a significant and unprecedented moment in American politics, with profound personal and political implications. As President Biden navigates the dual challenges of supporting his son and running for re-election, the Biden family’s resilience and unity are being put to the test. The coming months will undoubtedly be challenging as they confront the ongoing legal battles and the political fallout from this landmark case.
That’s it for now.
