Hunter Biden News

Joe Biden

Opening arguments are to be held on Tuesday in the trial of Hunter Biden on gun charges, the first ever prosecution of a child of a sitting US president.

Hunter Biden, 54, the only surviving son of President Joe Biden, is charged with lying about his illegal drug use when buying a handgun in 2018,…

A 12-member jury with four alternates was seated on Monday for the federal trial being held in the Biden hometown of Wilmington. “As the President, I don’t and won’t comment on pending federal cases, but as a Dad, I have boundless love for my son, confidence in him, and respect for his strength,” Biden said in a statement.

Prosecutors are set to introduce often uncomfortable evidence linked to Hunter Biden’s years as an addict. Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China and Ukraine have also formed the basis for attempts by Republican lawmakers to initiate impeachment proceedings against Biden. Those efforts, too, have gone nowhere.
