The younger Biden is standing trial in Delaware this week for illegally purchasing and possessing a gun while abusing or being addicted to drugs, a violation of federal law. He’s also facing charges in California for failing to pay his taxes.
“I think any average American who’s done their taxes like Hunter Biden would have probably faced prosecution, however, I don’t think the average American would have been charged with the gun thing,” Graham told HuffPost. “I don’t see any good coming from that.”
Hunter Biden admitted in a 2021 memoir that he was habitually using crack cocaine at the time of the gun purchase. He has pleaded not guilty and has argued he’s being unfairly targeted by the Justice Department. Opening arguments in his trial are expected to begin on Tuesday.
