Though Biden had earlier insisted that his son had 'done nothing wrong,' members of Biden’s inner circle took great comfort in knowing that, with a guilty plea, Hunter likely would not serve prison time.
While the cases are, inevitably, to be compared, there are key differences between them. Hunter Biden cooperated with the government and Trump did not, refusing to return classified government documents and, according to theordered his staff and the DNC to remain silent
The political outcome of such choices remains to be seen. But Biden advisers point out that Trump made many of these allegations during the 2020 campaign, even springing one of Hunter’s ex-business partners as a surprise guest at the last 2020 general election debate. It had little impact. Hunter kept a low profile during the 2020 presidential campaign but has recently taken on a more public role. He appeared with his father at events including the state dinner for French President Emmanuel Macron in December. And he was a nearly constant presence at the president’s side at nearly every stop during last month’s trip to Ireland, their ancestral homeland.
