Graham: ‘Average American’ wouldn’t face Hunter Biden’s gun charges

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Monday he thinks most Americans would not have to face the gun charges for which President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is currently on trial in Delaware.
In remarks to HuffPost, Graham defended the president’s son against the gun charges but said he thinks the second indictment Hunter Biden faces, charging him with tax crimes, is more legitimate.
“I think any average American who’s done their taxes like Hunter Biden would have probably faced prosecution,” Graham said about the tax case, which is slated to go to trial in California in September.
“However, I don’t think the average American would have been charged with the gun thing,” he continued. “I don’t see any good coming from that.”
The president’s son faces three felony charges, including two for allegedly lying on a federal background form when purchasing a gun in 2018. Prosecutors say he indicated on the form that he was not using illegal drugs and that he was not an addict, when, in fact, he was addicted to crack cocaine at the time.
He faces a third charge for unlawfully possessing the firearm for 11 days.
