Hunter Biden Faces Serious Trouble in Federal Gun Trial

Former federal prosecutor Preet Bharara warned over the weekend that Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, is in serious legal trouble as he faces federal charges over alleged gun crimes. Bharara, a Democrat who served during the Obama administration, shared his insights during an interview on CBS News’s “Face The Nation” with host Margaret Brennan.

• Hunter Biden is set to face three felony gun possession charges.

• If convicted, he could face a maximum of 25 years in prison.

• This trial is unprecedented, involving the sitting president’s son prosecuted by his own Justice Department.

“Tomorrow, in another unusual situation our country is in, the Biden Justice Department will begin a trial in Delaware against the president’s son, where Hunter faces three felony gun possession charges, maximum 25 years prison,” Brennan stated. “How much hot water is he in here?”

Bharara responded, “He’s in substantial hot water because he’s been charged federally,” emphasizing the gravity of the situation. “You have the son of the sitting president of the United States of America going to trial at the hands of his own Justice Department.”

The charges stem from allegations that Hunter Biden illegally possessed a firearm while being a drug user, a serious federal offense. This case is particularly notable as it involves a direct challenge to the president's family by the federal justice system he oversees.

Legal experts highlight that federal gun laws carry severe penalties, and Hunter Biden’s case is no exception. The trial is expected to draw significant media attention, given the high-profile nature of the defendant and the implications for the Biden administration.

As the trial unfolds, it will be crucial to monitor how the Justice Department handles the prosecution and the potential impact on public perception of the Biden administration. This case underscores the ongoing legal challenges facing Hunter Biden and the broader political ramifications for his father’s presidency.
