Hunter Biden Says He’s ‘Grateful’ After Jury Convicts Him in Just 3 Hours
Moments after he was convicted Tuesday of lying about his drug addiction on a gun application form five years ago, a defiant Hunter Biden exited a Delaware federal courtroom hand-in-hand with his wife, Melissa Cohen Biden, and stepmother, first lady Jill Biden.
It was the same show of familial support that dominated Biden’s week-long federal trial, which ended on Tuesday after a jury found him guilty of three charges. Jill Biden was not present in the packed courtroom as the verdict was read, but she reportedly arrived minutes later. President Joe Biden’s brother James and sister-in-law were in the room alongside Cohen Biden.
Hunter Biden, 54, showed little emotion and stared straight ahead as the verdict, which was reached after about three hours of deliberation, was read out, AP reported. He reportedly hugged and kissed family members in the courtroom, and some supporters looked stunned and upset as they exited the building.
