As Donald Trump faces a potential guilty verdict in his criminal trial, his allies are trying to shift focus onto President Biden’s son, Hunter. They call the Bidens the “Biden crime family” and claim they made lots of money from Joe Biden’s political career.
Trump Trial Nears End
- Trump’s criminal trial in New York is wrapping up soon
- The jury is deciding if he is guilty of 34 charges related to hush money payments
- Trump said the charges were “rigged” and claimed the case was politically motivated
Hunter Biden’s Own Legal Troubles
Next week, Hunter Biden will be the first child of a sitting president to face criminal charges himself. His charges involve allegedly lying on a form to purchase a gun while struggling with drug addiction.
Prosecutors say this case, along with Hunter’s past job with a Ukrainian gas company, shows the “Biden crime family” abusing Joe Biden’s influence for personal profit. However, no charges have been filed against the president himself.
Trump Allies to Use Hunter Case in Attacks
As images of Hunter going to court circulate, Trump’s team plans to use them in ads portraying him as untrustworthy. They will claim this proves the Biden family illegally enriched themselves, even if Hunter is not convicted.
2024 Election Impacted Either Way?
If Trump is found guilty, he is expected to appeal, dragging the case into the 2024 election season when he may run for president again. Similarly, continued focus on Hunter Biden’s legal issues could undermine Joe Biden’s re-election chances.
How Will This All End?
With criminal trials looming for Donald Trump and the president’s own son, the 2024 election is shaping up to be incredibly contentious. Both sides face major legal and political battles in the months ahead.
