Biden jets back to Europe after Hunter’s conviction

President Joe Biden is abroad for the second time in as many weeks, this time for the Group of Seven summit as he and other world leaders deal with a war in Ukraine and another between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

But Biden is also in Italy as his family contends with the personal and political consequences of his only surviving son, Hunter Biden, being convicted this week on federal felony gun charges and as Europe comes to terms with the overperformance of far-right political parties in last weekend’s European Parliament elections.
