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.

“10% for the Big Guy.”
“Biden has so far distanced himself from his son’s legal issues to avoid distraction,“
Yeah that’s why, to avoid distraction. Newsweak is a joke
That’s why “Doctor” Jill and the rest of the Biden crime family are there every day. To prevent a “distraction.”
Smith, Willis and Bragg were so very very smart in timing their cases for trials during the campaign. I was admitted to the bar more than 30 years ago, and the one thing I’ve learned is to plan on delay, even long delay. As to Bragg succeeding in getting his case to trial—- how has that worked out. And if Merchand pulls the trigger I can’t think of a better way to drive home the point about the corrupt trial, especially since I would anticipate that the appellate department would stay execution of sentence pending appeal. Even if not and Trump were in a double wide at Rikers, or on home detention at Mar a Lago, remote rallies or rallies headlined by surrogates since Trump wpuld be a political prisoner would be glorious
how much distance was there when visited hunter’s ex-wife?
a witness in the trial
and this time he’ll raise $4 billion, not $400 million
More propaganda from a only propaganda aka “Fake News Source!”.
Rats are in charge of all ‘legal controlling authorities’…no problem…
Let’s hope so, I have been a little concerned about momentum and timing in the race, peaking too soon, etc.
The Biden charges ignore laundering of foreign bribes, election interference, etc., and focus on relatively trivial matters.
People are sick and tired of the double standard practiced by the utterly biased left wing democrat media. These Hunter Biden trials are designed to take the heat off of Joe and deflect to his son's legal issues. But just look at the venue he gets compared to Trump. This all plays into Trump's hands and boosts his favorability with everyone who can still think straight. The democrats are looking like asinine kooks as usual
Wagging the dog...................
I think the main reason they did a 180 on Hunter was so selective facts from the laptop and elsewhere can now be used to force Biden to step aside (which was the plan all along until Jill changed his “mind”).
Jill will be the deciding factor.
She will not allow him to exit the race.
She enjoys the perks and the power.
Obama may be pulling the strings on his ‘meat puppet’ but Jill is the one guiding them......................
“Obama may be pulling the strings on his ‘meat puppet’”
Obama pulls no strings. He was a puppet of the powerful!
There are probably a lot of Democrats that want Biden to step down. The real “puppet masters” though, want to keep all of their power, and if another democrat steps in they risk losing some of their power at the minimum. This includes Jill, and all the other incompetent freaks in his administration.
His payoff was $60,000,000 for a ghost written book and $1,000,000,000 from Netflix to "create and produce", again, ghost written.
He's just a conduit, to Xiden as Jarrett is to Soetoro.
Kyle Rittenhouse says: “Newsweek is gay.”
That judge was not even on the rotation. Yet somehow he and only he was “randomly” selected to preside over several cases involving Trump.
