gives us this statement tonight out front, says there was nothing but love in that room with hunter after the verdict. abbe lowell and his team put up the best of fatty could ask for. hunter was incredibly strong and gracious. look at how good hunter looks today. sober, going on for years, it is remarkable how far he's come and he will be a powerful force story of redemption hope for attics and their families that love conquers all. now, hunter biden could face up to 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000. in a moment, we're going to hear from one of the jurors about the discussions that took place inside that jury room and those few hours of debating, as the 12 men and women deliberated it truly is incredible when you take a step back here, you've got the president's done. just found guilty, criminally, less than two weeks after former president trump was found guilty and is now a convicted felon, both are now awaiting sentencing and yet the reactions from biden and trump could not be more different just hours after his son was found guilty, president biden spoke to the nation's largest gun control groups. so he's actually out of gun control group. he did not mention his sons conviction. he did not talk about a corrupt judge or rigged trial or which time. instead, he released this statement separate from his speech. i will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as hunter considers an appeal, jill and i will always be there for hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support. priscilla alvarez is out front. she is live in wilmington, delaware and evan perez is outside the courthouse. i want to start with you, though, priscilla, because i know you've got some new porting on this last-minute trip by president biden to delaware. so what is the biden family doing right now? how did this all come together as far as you're learning? >> aaron, the president and his family are huddling behind closed doors here in their residents in wilmington tonight after the president rights only hours ago and was greeted by his son, hunter on the tarmac. now, this was a last-minute trip with sources telling cnn that it was floated late monday night, but came together after the verdict was reached and finalize with the president arriving here again, only a couple of hours ago. but of course this is a family that has often come together over the course of the trial. the first lady in the courtroom, multiple times as these legal proceedings were underway and even coming back from france briefly to attend the trial. and that really underscores the debt, the delicate and difficult balance that this president has had to strike with his foreign travel in recent days. and also as these deeply painful family moments, were playing out in this trial and publicly now, the president did release the statement earlier today, and it was a statement that was framed through the lens of a father, not so much a president where he talks about the resiliency of his son, but also said that he would accept the outcome of the case of the president has previously affirmed that he would not pardon his son. now, also, hearing wilmington is the biden campaign headquarters and sources telling us that as far as tonight, it is business as usual for this very sensitive and delicate issue for the biden family. >> all right. priscilla, thank you very much. in wilmington. and i do wanna go to evan perez now because he's been in the courtroom throughout this trial every day hey, you've watched the jurors, you've watched the biden family there and i know you just spoke to one of those jurors, evan, what did he tell you well, aaron, this is a juror number ten. >> he's man in his 60s from his from southern the southern part of delaware. and one of the things that we heard from the defense team as we were going through this trial was they believed that politics had a role in why hunter biden was even facing these charges. he said the defense team believed that the us attorney, who was appointed by donald trump was essentially bullied into going after hunter because of criticism from house republicans republicans in general, i asked the juror number ten, who did not want to be to show his face on television whether politics played any role in these liberation. listen to what he had to say if anybody was in that courtroom or in the jury room they would know it was not motivated by politics politics played no part whatsoever in my mind no. i can't speak for the other jurors but nothing was nothing was ever said about this election year that was never brought up an aaron, we also he also told me that the gun form that hunter biden signed back in october of 2018 when he bought the firearm that was the crucial piece of evidence in his mind and he believed that hunter biden lied when he signed it and none of the other evidence from the from the from the defense to try to explain it away, really worked on the part of the jury one of the things that may come up by the defense team, they do they are weighing an appeal of this of this verdict is the fact that jurors never got to see a second version. >> that form, because the judge did not allow it. and so i asked the juror whether he believed that that would have made a difference. he said it would not have. erin all right. evan, thank you very much. outside that courthouse and having a chance to speak to juror number ten, which was obviously so fast thing is we'd we'd heard about the jury and their reactions and who they are. >> all right. my panel with me now, katie rogers, i want to start with you because you have covered the biden family closely for a long time at the new york times. and now we're seeing the president arrived in delaware, greeting his son. what are your sources telling you about how this has impacted present? then biden personally well, i think everyone who has spoken to me who is close to the president and close to the bidens. >> they always really reiterate to me how much the president believes in his sons ability to stay sober. he's very proud on that level of his son and they always stressed to me that, yes, he is worried about the legal problems ahead for hunter biden, but he believes in his son's ability to continue his recovery. now, that said, the people close to him say that this is the thing that more than anything else he wakes up. if he's briefed by aids on gaza, the next immediate thing is about his son or he is constantly in contact with his son. they speak at least once a day. so this is something that is going to add more weight to the president's mindset. he's already been quite worried about these legal problems, never having an end for his son. and this just adds to that, right? >> it didn't certainly at a crucial time in this campaign, congressman buck, i wanted to play something else for you that juror number ten shared with evan perez as about hunter biden, let me play it i did have empathy for him, for his addiction i don't wish that on anybody and especially correct. >> okay. let me let was that's the has to be a terrible it comes from i think just significant that that juror says that after they unanimously convicted him on all counts. right. but still able to have that human empathy and obviously a lot of americans can relate to that who are dealing with this themselves or with others and their families, some sort four it's sort of addiction the president though is to deal with the political side of this. do you think that he has managed this appropriately as a father and as a president, congressman yeah, i do. >> i think it's very difficult. you look at your son having an addiction line bad, the federal government the congress obviously passed this law because of folks who are addicted to drugs. and by guns are more likely to commit crimes. so certainly not a hunter biden category necessarily, but i think the joe biden president biden has done a great job of trying to stay above the fray and recognizing that his department of justice was a very difficult position attorney general merrick garland appointed a special counsel's so that that council would be independent and render independent judgment. and i think that people look at this case and recognize that it was done in an independent and fair way the idea that there may have been other crimes are really irrelevant. >> this this defendant, hunter biden, got a fair trial, a quick jury verdict, and i think that joe biden made the right statements after the verdict at ryan. >> the thing is, is this is not done for hunter biden or for joe biden, the whole family? >> all right. he can still appeal just even on this case, i'm talking separately from the tax case, which is very serious, but on this case alone, is this going to drag out for the remainder of election between sentencing appeals and all kinds of this process. >> 100% because he's going to both appeal on the grounds that certain evidence should not have been excluded from the defense. and he's going to appeal on the grounds that under the second amendment the constitution, that this particular criminal provision should be invalid. and none of that is going to be sewed up before november. in fact, we'll probably at least a year from now before any of that gets sorted up, even conservatively speaking, well, even conservatively speaking. all right, so that's a long time katie, and it's certainly shows in terms of weighing on the president all the way through the election way beyond, but through the election, i mentioned how joe biden, the first lady, was not able to get there in time today because happened so quickly. she wasn't actually able to be in the courtroom for the verdict. but she was there almost every day. hunter sister was there as its uncle. a lot of other family members, his daughter testified ex girlfriends, wives and we've seen support from almost all of them on hunter and his recovery it has been something that clearly has damaged and hurt this family for a long time. they've struggled with it. what does the conviction mean? katie, for the whole family? >> i mean, i think that this family has dealt a hunter biden has detailed his addictions over the years in various ways, whether it's through a memoir, through a lengthy magazine profile. but for the rest of this family, it's been a really long private painful battle. well as we saw, this week during and last week during the trial. sorry these members of the biden family, onetime members of the biden family and current members recounted what was essentially they had all described as a held that they were in with him and a conviction is really the first time this very private battle has been laid bare for public consumption. so it's uncomfortable for them and they have had to sit there and here the shrapnel hit them yet again of hunter biden's choices i'm have had to sit there and listen to him in his own words through his memoir recount his drug use is a painful time for them. >> congressman buck, president biden was asked about whether he would pardon his son right on this crucial point, i want to play that exchange. it was with david muir let me ask you, will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is? >> yes and have you ruled out a pardon for your son? yes. >> do you have congress. >> how do you feel about this when he's saying that to show he believes in the system and he's not going to question it. >> would know which khan to rigged and all that, right. clearly, it is his son. >> how do you feel dizzy? you have to take this all the way to the mat? no, pardon? no commutation of his prison sentence, which by the way, he did not did not. commit to or do you think it would be appropriate and not hurt belief in the system if he were to commute his son sentence i don't think president biden wouldn't do anything until after the appeals are finished. number one, and that's going to happen after the election. so he's going to have much more flexibility after the election whether he wins or loses to make a decision like this. now, if he were to engage in a pardon of president trump and president trump was convicted did of a federal crime. at the same time that he pardon his own son. i think americans would understand a father doing that but i think he made the right statement at the time and that is i'm not going to show preferential treatment to a member of my own family and a quick final word, ryan, just to be clear that this would go another year, you also have a very serious tax evasion charge, federal charge in california, which would carry significant present time. that is underway. >> that's right. and the justice department said that it could carry up to 17 years in jail. and what's unfortunate for hunter biden is because you didn't do a plea deal. he will now have to convictions potentially stacked up against each under the us census i'm seeing guideline. the conviction that he just got today in delaware would count against him. he will not be a first-time offender if he is convicted in california. right. which could affect sentencing i thank you very much. ryan. it katie and congressman, i appreciate all of you very much. next trump and his supporters called the doj rigged and political. so what are they saying tonight now that hunter biden? why is convicted by a jury on all counts unanimously, just like donald trump was a couple weeks ago. plus breaking news, the us is now tracking a flotilla of russian warships less than 100 miles off the coast of florida and passing by a us cruise ship packed with passengers. we are speaking to a person on board that ship, just sending us some pictures of what they saw on that crews. and new audio tonight of samuel alito's wife threatening to put up more political flags what i want i want sacred heart of jesus glad because i had to look cross the lagoon at the pride flag for the next month alito's neighbor, who had a confrontation with martha-ann alito and is at the center of the story is out front tonight to president's, the former under our leadership, the forgotten man and woman will be forgotten. >> he no longer the current democracy is still a sacred car. there's no country in the world better positioned to lead the world who will be the next, the most anticipated moment of this election, the weight only cnn can bring it to you, moderated by jake tapper in dana bash, the cnn presidential debates thursday, june 27, unknown live on cnn and streaming on max. why choose asleep governor's smart bad. i need help whether snoring sleep number does that thank you. now say 40% on asleep number special edition smart bad plus 0% interest to 24 months shut. now let's be we're dot good wide writers. >> those dollars on you'd have to kill me to get this jacket off electrifying four stars movie, scan and less. >> like writers read your door only. >> beaters june 21st, i brought in a juror max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy and just two weeks here, i'll take that. >> sure. not to protein 30 grams protein one prim sugar, 25 vitamins and minerals, and a new fiber blend with a prebiotic your pain shouldn't be minimized or forgotten when medicine gets better all of us can get better with priceline vip family, you can unlock deals five times faster. >> you don't even have to be an actual family. >> i'd be the dad on the day physically, it's clear that i'm the dad. okay. so which data's pain?
