House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) defended President Biden for saying last year that his son Hunter Biden did “nothing wrong” in connection to the federal investigation related to tax and gun offenses.
Jeffries backed up Biden on NBC’s “Meet the Press” for his comments regarding the investigation into his son last year when asked if it was “appropriate” for the president to weigh in on the case at the time.
“President Biden commented as a loving father, as I would hope any loving father would do. Hunter Biden, of course, is entitled, as was Donald Trump, to the presumption of innocence and to a trial by a jury of his peers,” Jeffries said.
“And this Justice Department is going to proceed in that fashion, present the facts and the law and then we’ll all have to wait for a determination that is made by a jury as to Hunter Biden’s guilt or innocence,” he added.
Biden said last year that Hunter Biden “has done nothing wrong” in connection to a multiyear investigation into his son. His comments came before his son was indicted on tax and gun charges last year.
Biden’s son is now headed to trial this week over the federal gun charges in Delaware. The prosecutors said that Hunter Biden purchased a gun illegally because he falsely said on a form that he was not a drug user.
Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to the federal gun charges in October. His bid to delay the gun charges trial failed last month, and previous efforts to get the charges dismissed also failed.

“In my culture, bribery, corruption and prostitution is perfectly acceptable”.
Democrats have gotten away with so much for so long they think they can get away with everything forever.
So far, it is working.
Then Hakeem should have no problem with it going to court. After all he said it’s the American way.
Which goes to prove that this hakeem person has no integrity.
Hunter’s list of crimes is ridiculously long.
Why no FARA violations?
A Red Chinese criminal was arrested as he was leaving the country - and his first call was to James Biden - and phone records show James Biden called Hunter immediately.
That $30 Million is just the start because the Chinese at some point switched over to sending all their money to the Biden Penn Center, where his sister was hiding it.
Back on the plantation where the Democrats want him.
Democrats standing up for their kind, not like the RINOS.
What was the guys name?
Exactly Right!
You are the Winner.
If you are Democrat working for Biden In Michigan or PA, do you have any fear whatsoever that you will be held accountable if you work to skew the Election?
Of course not.
They deny, deny, deny and five years later say it’s old news and it didn’t matter.
There is zero accountability!
My…..how the Rats come home to feast.
Hak’em is a fool.
Hakeem has no trouble lying right to your face
“ The first call Ho made after his arrest in 2017 was to James Biden, who is Hunter’s uncle and Joe Biden’s brother. James has said he thought Ho’s call was intended for Hunter.
Hunter struck a $1 million legal retainer agreement with Ho following his arrest.”
Patrick Ho.
Brother James Biden and Hunter were marketing they could get them off, or prevent their Indictment, with their DOJ contacts.
Hakeem is right. Hunter hasn’t done anything wrong; he’s done EVERYTHING WRONG.
Thank you.
He’s a black home-grown NY race hustler, criminal-lover, and big mouth. I have no need of Hakeem.
He’s as big a liar as Bidet.
Pure gaslighting.
He’s a democrat SO HE LIES.
WHEN DEMOCRATS ARE NOT LYING THEY ARE CHEATING.
ANYONE WITH HONESTY SHOULD PILE ON AND VOTE,DEMOCRATS OUT.
