Republicans blast Hunter Biden verdict as ‘illusion’ of equal justice

Published June 11, 2024 2:01pm ET



Republicans are not setting aside their allegations of a two-tiered justice system following the guilty verdict of first son Hunter Biden, arguing Tuesday’s conviction is an “illusion” of fair treatment under the law.

Hunter Biden was found guilty on three felony charges related to a 2018 gun purchase, marking the first time in history the son of a sitting president has been criminally convicted. The verdict comes after the first son’s plea deal fell through last year that would have allowed him to plead guilty to tax misdemeanor charges and avoid felony gun charges.
