President Joe Biden addressed the recent verdict in the case of his son, Hunter Biden whom a jury found guilty on three federal gun charges.
The verdict was delivered by a Delaware jury, finding Hunter Biden guilty of two counts of falsifying forms regarding his sobriety when purchasing a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018. The third count pertained to possessing a firearm while using narcotics. Shortly after the verdict, President Biden issued a statement through the White House counsel’s office, reiterating his pride in his son’s resilience in battling addiction.
Let the jokes begin.
“As I said last week, I am the President, but I am also a Dad,” President Biden stated. “Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today.” He continued, acknowledging the shared experiences of many families dealing with addiction. “So many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery.”
Biden appears very proud of his crack addict son who broke federal law and we still don’t know who’s cocaine was found in the White House.
The president also reaffirmed his respect for the judicial process, indicating his acceptance of the case’s outcome while acknowledging Hunter’s potential appeal. “As I also said last week, I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal,” Biden added.
Throughout the deliberation process, President Biden remained in Washington, D.C. However, following the swift verdict, his schedule shifted to allow him to rush to Wilmington, Delaware, to be with his son. This move coincided with an event in D.C. focused on gun safety, highlighting the intersection of personal and policy issues in the president’s life. Other members of the Biden family were present at the Wilmington courthouse throughout the week-long hearing, though the first lady, Jill Biden, missed the announcement due to the verdict’s unexpected timing.
In his statement, President Biden emphasized the enduring support for his son and family. “Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support. Nothing will ever change that,” he affirmed.
In a stroke of irony, President Biden was scheduled to address victims and survivors of gun violence at Everytown’s Gun Sense University at the Washington Hilton.
