bowed to political pressure and the entire thing is quote, unquote, politically motivated can you guess which case i m talking about? no, it s not donald trump s conviction in manhattan though all of those things hadn t thought about that case as well. i m talking about hunter biden s trial and wilmington, delaware, which continues just hours from now with opening statements and all of those things that have been said about the case by hunter biden s attorney abbe lowell. i ve just said the case, though. it could not be more different than the one involving trump, hunter biden has charges lying about his drug use when he filled out a form to purchase again back in 2018 and possessing the gun illegally and the form hunter apparently or allegedly checked the no box when asked if he is an unlawful user of any controlled substance and prosecutors, they say that was a lie. now, hunter biden s long history of addiction will be settled to this very case, and we actually saw that on full displ
what a jury is going to do and obviously the prosecution has got to meet their burden of proof. that is what s required. it s how it ought to be this defendant who has a presumption of innocence. and they ve got to prove their case. but the notion of how to hone into a discrete point in time is going to be an uphill battle. we ll see how they climate, but the white house press secretary, i want to go to you here is saying that this trial is absolutely not going to interfere with the presence ability to do his job, and the president saying this in a statement, i am the president, but i am also a dad and he talks about his love and pride for his son and the man that he is today. what kind of effect do you think this trial is going to have on president biden well luck. i think the statement really speaks for itself or the president is not going to comment on the charges but he is going to continue to express his love and support for his son i think that this is the bond between joe bi
