David Weiss, the special counsel on this case, noted in the aftermath that this is about law and order. Weiss also stressed that no American lives above the law and the outcome of this verdict reflects that.
After the jury’s guilty determination, Hunter Biden later released a statement. He expressed his disappointment, yet showed appreciation to his family for standing by him.
Will Joe Biden pardon his son?
Before Hunter’s trial concluded, President Biden spoke to the media about it. The current commander-in-chief stated he loves his son, yet will ultimately accept the results of the case. Furthermore, the president told the press he would not issue a pardon, amid considerable speculation about this possibility.
Nevertheless, some Americans still believe Biden could intervene to spare his son from consequences at the eleventh hour. There’s been a lot of talk about this on social media, especially from folks with less than favorable views of the president.
Hunter Biden will return to court for sentencing no later than October 9.
