Boyd: Hunter wants his dad in power because the Presidency profits and protects the Bidens

By JORDAN BOYD | The Federalist Hunter Biden desperately wants his father to stay in the 2024 presidential race — but not for the reasons the corporate media suggest. Shortly after President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, The New York Times was quick to amplify the entire Biden family’s support for their suddenly scrutinized patriarch’s 2024 presidential run. “One of the strongest voices imploring Mr. Biden to resist pressure to drop out was his son Hunter Biden, whom the president has long leaned on for advice, said one of the people informed about the discussions, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations,” the Times wrote. The outlet framed Hunter’s concern for his dad’s political future at a recent Camp Davi...

Hunter Biden found guilty on all counts by Delaware jury in gun trial

By JEFF MORDOCK | The Washington Times A federal jury convicted Hunter Biden Tuesday of three felony counts stemming from the purchase of a gun in October 2018 while in the throes of a crack addiction, making him the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a crime. The panel of six men and six women, all Delaware residents, deliberated for three hours over two days before rendering the guilty verdict which could have political implications for President Biden. Republicans have sought to tie his son’s legal problems to him in the midst of a tough reelection campaign against former President Donald Trump. The defendant’s wife Melissa and his uncle, James Biden, were in the courtroom when the verdict was announced. First lady Jill Biden, who attended most of the weeklon...

Hunter Biden won’t testify, defense rests in federal gun trial

By JEFF MORDOCK | The Washington Times Hunter Biden decided not to testify Monday in his federal gun trial, moving the case closer to the jury that will decide whether the president’s son is guilty of lying about his drug addiction when he purchased the firearm. Defense lawyer Abbe Lowell told the court that the defense rests, one week after the trial began. Prosecutors are calling one rebuttal witness before closing arguments will begin. Defense attorneys rested their case after calling three witnesses over a span of roughly three hours, including Naomi Biden, the daughter of Hunter Biden and the president’s granddaughter. The other two witnesses were employees of the store where Hunter Biden purchased a Colt Revolver in October 2018. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON TIME...

Hunter Biden was using drugs around the time he bought a gun, ex-partner and sister-in-law Hallie says

bY BEN FEUERHERD and BETSY WOODRUFF SWAN | Politico  Hunter Biden’s sister-in-law and former romantic partner, Hallie Biden, took the stand at his trial on gun-related charges Thursday and told jurors she believed he was using crack cocaine around the time he bought a pistol in the fall of 2018. Federal prosecutors asked Hallie about a series of text messages she exchanged with Hunter in the days after he bought a Colt revolver on Oct. 12, 2018. In the texts, Hunter said he was “waiting for a dealer named Mookie” and said he was “sleeping on a car smoking crack.” The texts, along with Hallie’s testimony, are pivotal evidence as prosecutors try to prove that Hunter was an active drug user when he purchased the firearm. Special counsel David Weiss has charged the president’s son ...

Ex-girlfriend testifies Hunter Biden smoked crack ‘every 20 minutes’

By Jeff Mordock | The Washington Times A former girlfriend of Hunter Biden who met him while working as a stripper testified Wednesday that the president’s son smoked crack cocaine “every 20 minutes” and gave drug dealers the access code to his bank account to supply his addiction.  Zoe Kestan told the court that she met Hunter Biden while she was working part-time at a gentleman’s club in New York in December 2017. She detailed their drug-fueled relationship for a federal jury, saying Hunter Biden failed at several attempts to get sober, including an experiment with frog venom. She testified that Hunter Biden “would want to smoke crack as soon as he woke up.” Ms. Kestan was a key witness for the prosecution on the second day of testimony in the federal criminal gun trial ...

Opening statements expected today in Hunter Biden federal gun trial

By ELLA LEE AND ZACH SCHONFELD  | The Hill Twelve jurors and four alternates were selected in the first of what could be two federal criminal trials involving Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden, according to The Associated Press.  The panel of Delaware residents was selected after just one day, where prospective jurors were questioned over their views on gun rights, political prosecutions and whether the defendant’s father could influence their ability to be fair and impartial.  Hunter Biden will stand trial on federal gun charges involving his purchase of a firearm in 2018. Federal prosecutors contend the president’s son made false statements regarding his use of illegal drugs when obtaining the gun and then unlawfully possessed it for 11 days.   He has pleaded...

Where’s Hunter? President’s son in court today to begin case of illegal gun possession

By BETSY WOODRUFF SWAN and HAILEY FUCHS | Politico As Hunter Biden walks into court Monday to go on trial, he’ll pass a familiar sight: a large photo of his father, sporting a reassuring grin. The photo — hanging prominently in the lobby of a federal courthouse in dilapidated downtown Wilmington — is a vivid reminder of how the president’s political career and now his son’s legal travails both run through this struggling port city. For years, Hunter Biden has drawn scrutiny for his links to controversial Ukrainian, Chinese and Romanian business ventures. Congressional Republicans and former President Donald Trump have accused him of influence-peddling and corruption. But the trial — which opens Monday morning with jury selection — isn’t about any of that. Instead, its focus is ...

‘I did not involve my father in my business,’ Hunter Biden says during impeachment testimony

By MYCHAEL SCHNELL | The Hill Hunter Biden testified Wednesday that he “did not involve” his father, President Biden, in his business dealings, delivering the message at the beginning of his highly anticipated deposition as part of the GOP’s impeachment inquiry into the president. “I am here today to provide the committees with the one uncontestable fact that should end the false premise of this inquiry: I did not involve my father in my business. Not while I was a practicing lawyer, not in my investments or transactions domestic or international, not as a board member, and not as an artist. Never,” Biden said during his opening statement. “My testimony today should put an end to this baseless and destructive political charade,” he later added. “You have wasted valuable time and r...
