It is CNN that reports this. This is the first time the child of a sitting US president has been charged. Hunter Biden initially wanted to appear via video link, but the judges said no, and ordered him to appear in person in a federal court in Wilmington, Delaware. The 53-year-old son of the president has previously pleaded not guilty in two cases of tax evasion. He is also accused of having bought a weapon in 2018, and in connection with this stated in a declaration of ownership that he did not abuse drugs. Father and son Biden.

Instead, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed David Weiss of Delaware as a special investigator to investigate Hunter Biden. In September, Weiss brought charges. The indictment included three points in the case where he lied about the use of illegal drugs when he bought a weapon. His lawyer, Abbe Lowel, has said that Biden will deny criminal liability. Criticism from the Republicans The Republicans, led by Donald Trump, have long made strong attacks on Hunter Biden. Among other things, they have been critical of his previous business operations in China and Ukraine, during the time when Joe Biden was vice president. Trump has several times blamed him for corruption, and has also demanded an investigation of him.
