A handful of winners and losers have emerged following Hunter Biden's guilty conviction on all three counts he faced in a federal gun case in Delaware.
The president's son was found guilty on all charges in his historic criminal case focused on his purchase of a firearm in 2018.
Hunter Biden faced a trial this month that lasted more than a week and included emotional testimony from members of his family, including daughter Naomi Biden, ex-wife Kathleen Buhle and sister-in-law turned girlfriend, Hallie Biden.
LOSER: BIDEN FAMILY
The Biden family, including first lady Jill Biden and Hunter's wife, were a constant presence in the Delaware courtroom during the trial, leading many experts to wonder whether the Bidens' political power in the state would influence the jury into a not guilty verdict. President Biden weighed in on the case in May and said he believed his son had done "nothing wrong."
"My son has done nothing wrong," Biden declared in a rare sit-down interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle. "I trust him. I have faith in him, and it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him."
WINNER: HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
The Republican-led committee has been at the forefront of investigating alleged crimes committed by Hunter Biden and has said the federal gun case represents a first step toward accountability.
"Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal was smoked out after scrutiny by a federal judge," House Oversight Chairman James Comer posted on X following the guilty verdict.
"Today’s verdict is a step toward accountability but until the Department of Justice investigates everyone involved in the Bidens’ corrupt influence peddling schemes that generated over $18 million in foreign payments to the Biden family, it will be clear department officials continue to cover for the Big Guy, Joe Biden."
