Hunter Biden's family banded together for his trial. A bigger challenge awaits.
A September trial on tax charges could be more politically difficult for Hunter Biden and his family.
WILMINGTON, Del. — Moments after a jury convicted him on three felony gun charges, Hunter Biden vowed to family members and friends who had sat through nearly each day of his weeklong trial that the verdict “will not stop us from moving forward.”
The small group was gathered in the defense room, just steps from the courtroom where he had just learned his fate. Hunter Biden choked up when he singled out his parents and his wife, Melissa Cohen Biden.
Without her, he said, “I’d be dead.”
First lady Jill Biden appeared to cry, as did several other people in the room.
“We had our hopes up,” a person who was in the room said. “We thought there were strong defenses that would resonate with at least a few jurors.”
