Joe Biden Remains Proud Of Hunter For Overcoming Addiction Following Guilty Verdict

by

Joe Biden says he’s still proud of his son, Hunter, for overcoming addiction following the news that he’s been convicted on three gun charges. They’re related to laws prohibiting drug addicts from owning firearms. Additionally, Joe has confirmed he will not use his executive powers to pardon his son for the crimes. He faces 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000 but will likely receive a far lesser sentence as a first-time offender.

“I am more grateful today for the love and support I experienced this last week from Melissa, my family, my friends, and my community than I am disappointed by the outcome,” Hunter Biden said. “Recovery is possible by the grace of God, and I am blessed to experience that gift one day at a time.”
