CNN’s Jake Tapper asked President Joe Biden Tuesday about potential criminal charges hitting his son Hunter, and the president responded with nothing but love and admiration for whom he once called the “smartest man” he knows.
Last week, it was reported that federal prosecutors gathered enough evidence “months ago” to charge Hunter Biden with multiple crimes related to taxes and lying to investigators about a gun purchase, according to The Washington Post. Tapper asked Biden how he reacts to the news about his son “personally and politically.”
“Well first of all, I’m proud of my son,” the president began. “This is a kid who got, not a kid he’s a grown man, he got hooked on, like many families have had happen, hooked on drugs. He’s overcome that, he’s established a new life.”
No charges have yet to be filed against Biden’s 52-year-old son after the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings began in 2018. As the investigation grew, multiple agencies scrutinized whether he paid all the taxes that he was required to and whether he lied on an ATF Form 4473 background check while purchasing a firearm.
Only the U.S. attorney in Delaware holds the authority to move forward with charging Hunter Biden with crimes. The president, however, suggested to Tapper that he’s not too worried about Hunter falling into big trouble.
“I’m confident that what he says and does are consistent with what happens,” Biden said.
“I have great confidence in my son,” he added. “I love him, and he’s on the straight and narrow, and he has been for a couple years now, and I’m just so proud of him.”

He could have left out the proud part.
My son is a good boy. He is just working to get his life together and he didn’t mean to commit those crimes.
We have heard this story many times.
Ya know, my fellow Americans & Legal voters the honest truth sometimes hurts...but the real truth is still the real truth!!! The son of Fake, Illegal, POTUS, Democrat, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden is nothing but a twisted human being, who is truly a, USA Navy Reject, a current Drug Addict, a Woman Abuser and full fledged criminal to boot!!! IMHO, Sadly, for the USA and the World, the entire Biden family are entrenched criminals from A-Z!!!
The Fake POTUS, Joe Biden, is the 100% lap dog of the Communist Chinese government, The Russian Government & the Iranian Government!!! He and his cohorts in the Democrat Party are working every passing day to destroy this once great nation Republic...The USA!!!
Folks...vote GOP, vote Trump, Make America Great Again!!! Do it on November 8th, 2022...Mid Term /Election day!! “MAGA”!!!
Dear JLAGRAYFOX,
I am a twisted human being, a drug addict, a woman abuser, and a full-fledged criminal.... and on behalf of twisted human beings, drug addicts, woman abusers, and full-fledged criminals everywhere, we would request not to be compared to Hunter Biden.Laz
Thanks so much,
Talk about someone to be proud of; a crack headed alcoholic deviate. Those are Joe’s highest standards.
Sorry....Is THAT from the BEE??
The Bee? They cannot compete with reality...................
I can. My Son has become a meth addict. I want nothing to do with him.
“My Son has become a meth addict. I want nothing to do with him.”
I understand that. I’ve momentarily felt that way about a child or two but kept it to myself. People and situations can change.
“Just so proud”?
Dementia Joe?
You betcha
Term limits term limits term limits. Will never happen.
