The president’s son has been embroiled in countless scandals and lawsuits. Now Joe is cutting ties.
And he’s completely betrayed Hunter with one surprising move.
The last thing the Biden administration needs with the election coming up is more bad press.
His numbers are in the tubes and his chances of winning the White House are evaporating before his very eyes.
A major part of the flagging support is his lack of mental and physical fitness. Everyone can see it.
But another part is his perceived corruption.
Every since being implicated in his son, Hunter’s “business dealings,” he’s been trying to put distance between him and his son.
And now he’s willing to let him rot in jail to make it go away.
President Joe Biden said in an interview on Thursday that he will accept the outcome of his son’s criminal prosecution and will not pardon him if convicted.
Biden made the statements during an ABC News interview with David Muir while in Normandy, France, commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the greatest amphibious invasion in history.
When asked if he would accept the outcome of Hunter Biden’s criminal prosecution in Wilmington, Delaware, Biden said, “Yes.”
Biden also responded “yes” when asked if he would rule out pardoning his son if convicted.
Hunter Biden has been charged with three crimes for allegedly falsifying on a federal background check form in order to purchase the weapon, as well as for possessing the weapon thereafter.
If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison and a $750,000 fine.
Hunter Biden apparently filled a box on the form stating that he did not use or was addicted to any illegal drugs, contradicting his well-documented difficulties with crack cocaine, which he alluded to in a biography.
“After the defendant announced his awareness of a federal investigation of him in 2020, the defendant chose to author and sell a book in 2021 in which he made countless incriminating statements about his years-long drug usage, including during the time period he purchased and possessed the gun,” said Special Counsel David Weiss in court filings.
Weiss went even farther, stating that investigators “literally found drugs” in the pouch where Hunter Biden stored his rifle.
“In 2023, FBI investigators pulled sealed evidence from the state police vault to take photographs of the defendant’s firearm,” Weiss said.
Weiss continued:
After opening the evidence, FBI investigators observed a white powdery substance on the defendant’s brown leather pouch that had held the defendant’s firearm in October 2018. Based on their training and experience, investigators believed that this substance was likely cocaine and that this evidence would corroborate the messages that investigators had obtained which showed the defendant buying and using drugs in October 2018. An FBI chemist subsequently analyzed the residue and determined that it was cocaine. To be clear, investigators literally found drugs on the pouch where the defendant had kept his gun.
