In a twist of events, President Joe Biden may be the one spending the rest of the year worrying about legal issues, rather than his 2024 rival Donald Trump.
Trump is heading into November's election having become the first current or former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime after a New York jury found him guilty of 34 felony charges in his hush money trial.
However, it now seems likely that the former president will not stand trial in the other three criminal cases he is involved in before November's rematch with Biden. The classified documents case, the Georgia 2020 election interference investigation and the federal probe into the events which led up to the January 6 attack are all indefinitely on hold pending various appeals and legal arguments.
In comparison, the president's son Hunter Biden is currently on trial in Delaware facing federal gun charges, becoming the first child of a sitting president to be a criminal defendant. Hunter Biden is also set to go on trial in California in September over allegations he failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019, just weeks before the 2024 Election takes place.
Biden has so far distanced himself from his son's legal issues to avoid distraction, with first lady Jill Biden attending proceedings in Delaware instead. In a statement ahead of the gun trial, Biden expressed his "boundless love for my son, confidence in him, and respect for his strength."
Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to charges of making false statements that he was not a drug user on a federal form while purchasing a firearm in 2018, and of illegal gun possession while being a drug user.

Rather misleading title to the article considering that Joe Biden hasn’t been charged with anything nor died it look like he will
So this Newsweek article says Biden avoided Hunter’s trial because it would prove to be a “distraction” but Jill Biden is there. If I’m not mistaken, taxpayer dollars are spent to provide secret service protection for the first lady. So if the secret service must pay for hotel rooms to use while they’re protecting the first lady, the taxpayers must foot the bill. Shouldn’t the Newsweek article say the first lady is “distracted”?
Ol’ Joe is gonna have to build himself an ark. Cue the flood!
Remember all that loot the nations slipped to Joe, Jim and Hunter.
They’re spending it on teams of attorneys, $5000 an hour.
Crime doesn’t pay.
This means that all the content about Joe Biden is legitimate and can be used against him later.

Dementia Joe opened Pandora’s box by rigging the trials against the Donald.
But The Donald was convicted for b.s. crimes.
We all know that for years dementia Joe was selling himself to all kinds of bad guys and countries. Serious no b.s. crimes.
Lock up dementia Joe and his whole criminal clan including the fake doctors Jill.
Hunter isn’t even being charged for the really serious crimes he has committed.
