According to a Politico report, President Biden told a confidant earlier this month he believes his son would have received a plea deal if he wasn’t running for re-election.

Hunter Biden was found guilty on all three counts related to federal gun charges this week.

“If I weren’t running for reelection, he would have gotten the plea deal,” Biden said, according to Politico.

From Politico:

Biden had been consumed with the trial for weeks and asked family members for updates when he was on a trip to France for the annual D-Day commemorations, according to two of those people not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations. The president has expressed guilt over the spotlight his career has placed on his son, going so far as to say he believes it’s contributed to his legal troubles.

Hunter Biden was offered a plea deal that would have spared him prison time before it fell apart last July, just minutes before it was set to become official. Now, the younger Biden could face up to 25 years in prison. His sentencing date will likely come this fall.
