Image
With prosecutors continuing to scrutinize Hunter Biden's finances and business deals, the gun charges levelled against him might be just part of his legal troubles. The indictment of Hunter Biden on Thursday made one thing all but certain: President Joe Biden will embark on a 2024 reelection bid dogged once again by his son's tumultuous Business and personal life.
