Hunter Biden has been convicted of gun crimes involving drug use, causing turmoil for the Biden family during the election. However, Biden stated that he will respect the jury’s decision.
Hunter Biden was found guilty by a jury of falsifying his drug use on a form when purchasing a gun in 2018. He was using crack cocaine at the time of buying the firearm. Testimonies from his ex-wife and ex-girlfriend revealed his frequent drug use, putting pressure on his family and friends.
This is the first time a sitting president’s child has been criminally prosecuted. Hunter Biden could face imprisonment, which could have significant implications for Biden’s reelection in November.
However, Biden is not alone. Recently, former President Trump was convicted of all 34 felony charges of falsifying business records, stemming from payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels by Trump’s former personal lawyer before the 2016 presidential election.
Hunter Biden will be sentenced within the next 120 days, with the specific date yet to be determined. He faces a maximum of 25 years in prison.
Biden stated, “As I said last week, I am the President, but I am also a father. We are very proud of how he is today. Many families and loved ones struggling with addiction understand the feeling of seeing their loved ones overcome adversity.” Biden stated that he will respect the jury’s decision and provide support to Hunter.
The verdict immediately sparked political reactions, with the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee urging further investigation into the Biden family’s corruption issues, while Democrats accused Republicans of hypocrisy.
The presidential candidate meme coins launched by the community show that Trump’s MAGA coin outperforms BIDEN in terms of market value and coin performance. BIDEN even dropped nearly 40% within seven days.
