Joe Biden Releases Statement On Son Hunter Being Found Guilty On Federal Gun Charges

Joe Biden has released his first statement on his son Hunter being found guilty on Federal gun charges.

As WLT Report covered earlier on Tuesday, a Delaware jury found Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, guilty on all three counts of lying on a Federal gun form.

Hunter was convicted of “making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed firearms dealer.”

Biden stated, “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.”

“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,” added Biden.
