Biden 'proud of' son Hunter, claims he is ‘on the straight and narrow’ amid potential criminal charges

foxnews.com:

President Biden said Hunter Biden is "on the straight and narrow" and that he is "proud of" him despite recent criminal allegations against his son, including tax fraud and lying to purchase a gun.

During an interview with CNN host Jake Tapper on Tuesday, the president defended his son as the 52-year-old potentially faces tax and false statements charges from David Weiss, the U.S.

Attorney for Delaware. "I’m proud of my son," the president told Tapper. "This is a kid who got, not a kid — he’s a grown man.

He got hooked on — like many families have had happen, hooked on drugs. He’s overcome that. He’s established a new life." Tapper specifically asked Biden to respond to a recent report that claims the FBI believes there is enough evidence to charge Hunter with tax fraud as well as denying his drug use on a gun-purchase form.
