Hunter Biden’s guilty verdict is a “distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family,” according to Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a statement following the conviction.
“Crooked Joe Biden’s reign over the Biden Family Criminal Empire is all coming to an end on November 5th, and never again will a Biden sell government access for personal profit,” Leavitt said.
A Delaware jury on Tuesday found Hunter guilty on all three gun charges after several hours of deliberation.
Testimony from several witnesses during the trial indicated that Hunter used drugs in 2018, the period when he was involved in foreign business deals with his family.
One of the most significant deals occurred when Biden’s family members accepted money from CEFC China Energy Co, an organization with close ties to the CCP. The House Oversight Committee revealed in 2023 that CEFC controlled State Energy HK Limited, a company linked to $1.3 million in collective payments to the Biden family members.
Through the Biden family’s suspicious activity reports (SARs), the committee also discovered that a Biden associate, Rob Walker, received a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC. In turn, four Biden family members — Hunter, James, Hallie, and an unidentified “Biden” — received a collective $1.3 million cut from the $3 million wire transfer.
Hunter, who is a lawyer, also earned a $1 million legal retainer in 2017 from the CEFC’s chairman, Ye Jianming. In addition, Hunter received a large diamond from Ye worth an estimated $80,000 in February 2017.
