In a statement, Mr. Biden claimed that the charges against his son were pushed by his political rivals in Congress to sabotage his campaign. He believes that looking at the facts of Hunter’s cases would lead any reasonable person to the conclusion that his son was targeted solely because of their relationship, which he deems unfair.
