Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, is facing charges for failing to file or pay his 2017 and 2018 income taxes and for owning a handgun while he was a drug user in 2018. Last month, a plea deal fell apart and last week, a special counsel was appointed to oversee the investigation.
In an exclusive interview on “Meet the Press”, Hunter Biden’s attorney, Rep. Dean Phillips, said that a trial is “not inevitable” and that the investigation has compromised the president’s image. Phillips, a member of the Democratic leadership team, said that the Justice Department was trying to avoid a trial and that the attachment to the president has caused the investigation to be politicized.
Phillips also said that he does not believe the president is corrupt, but that the image of the investigation is what matters. He said that most people are not watching ‘Meet the Press’ every weekend and that the investigation will show that.
The investigation into Hunter Biden is ongoing and it is unclear what the outcome will be. It is also unclear if the investigation will have any effect on President Joe Biden’s image or his potential re-election campaign. For now, the public will have to wait and see what the outcome of the investigation will be.
