How Biden said son Hunter ‘did nothing wrong’ in interview LAST MONTH before three charges

Joe Biden said last month that his son had done “nothing wrong” — but now Hunter Biden is charged with a gun crime and plans to plead guilty to two tax violations.

The president’s son struck a deal with the Justice Department after lying on a government form about whether he was using drugs when he bought a gun, court documents Tuesday show.

In an interview with MSNBC, Biden was asked how his 53-year-old son’s business and tax affairs have affected his presidency.

“First of all, my son has done nothing wrong,” the president said in reference to the many investigations and high levels of scrutiny on Hunter.

“I trust him, I have faith in him,” Biden told host Stephanie Ruhle in May during his first one-on-one since announcing his re-election campaign. “And it affects my presidency by making me feel proud of him.”

“And it affects my presidency by making me feel proud of him.”

Following news of the allegations, White House spokesman Ian Sams said in a statement: “The President and the First Lady love and support their son as he continues to build his life. We will not comment further.’

Hunter will plead guilty to two tax violations and has agreed to take probation for the gun charge.

If he violates his probation, it would mean further prosecution, the new DOJ note said.

The deals mean Hunter Biden will likely avoid jail time.

The president’s son has been under investigation for years for tax and financial charges, as well as paperwork for the purchase of a handgun, stating he did not take drugs.

That contradicted confessions in his own autobiography.

U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss has overseen the investigation — and the plaintiffs’ agreement has yet to be approved by a federal judge.

A document Weiss filed with the court on Tuesday states that the criminal information charges the defendant with tax offenses — “namely, two counts of willful failure to pay federal income taxes,” as well as “one possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.”

The letter stated that prosecutors and Biden’s attorney Christopher Clark are jointly requesting to appear in court on the gun swap and a hearing on the tax bill.

Last year, Hunter paid back the FBI for back taxes, two years after revealing the investigation into his finances.

The Hunter Biden probe has been an ongoing political issue for the Biden administration. Republicans are hammering at the administration for allegedly unequal application of justice, after a federal grand jury indicted former President Donald Trump on charges of willful withholding of national security documents and conspiracy to obstruct an investigation into the case.

A separate investigation is underway into classified materials discovered in President Biden’s home and former office.

House Republicans have asked Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is leading both the Trump investigation and an investigation through Jan. 6, to hand over materials on how early decisions were made on that issue.
