The Latest News from Nigeria and Around the World
Jury selection begins Monday in the gun trial of Joe Biden’s son Hunter, the first prosecution in US history for the child of a sitting president — just as the Democratic leader seeks to accelerate his reelection campaign.The case comes on the heels of another unprecedented trial, in which White House hopeful Donald Trump became the first former US president convicted of a crime, and Republicans are keen to distract from their front-runner’s legal woes.
He will be tried in the family’s hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, on two counts of making false statements on gun purchase paperwork that he was not using drugs illegally. “The terms ‘user’ or ‘addict’ are not defined on the form and were not explained to him,” his lawyer Abbe Lowell wrote in court documents.
Republican lawmakers have accused Hunter Biden of engaging in corrupt business practices in China and Ukraine, but he has not been charged with any crimes related to his foreign dealings. “And I think the president himself will respect the verdict — much as it is painful, I’m sure, to see one of your children on trial.”
