Former President Donald Trump's argument about the "weaponization" of the justice system just ran smack into a Delaware jury's conviction of President Joe Biden's son Hunter.

The result, according to some Republicans, is a major blow to one of Trump's favorite talking points — and a boost to Biden's case that he respects the rule of law.

Congressional Democrats criticized their Republican counterparts over alleged hypocrisy after they were not satisfied when President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, was found guilty of federal firearms charges on Tuesday. 

Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., remarked that "my Republican friends have gone on and on about how Democrats have weaponized the [Department of Justice], but their conspiracy theories crumbled this morning when Hunter Biden, the son of the president, was found guilty in a federal court on three gun-related charges."

Hunter Biden is standing trial this week on federal charges of illegally possessing a firearm after allegedly lying about his status as a drug user when buying a pistol in 2018.

President Joe Biden's son has previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, saying that he entered a rehab program before purchasing the firearm and checked off "no" on a federal form that asked whether he was an "unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance."

Dozens of former intelligence officials who signed a letter warning Hunter Biden's infamous laptop "has all the classic earmarks" of Russian disinformation are either declining to retract or doubling down despite the device being entered as evidence in his ongoing criminal trial.

Let me take you back nearly four years − to late October 2020. Then-President Donald Trump and candidate Joe Biden duked it out in their second and final presidential debate before the election.

Trump made references to the recently published New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s now-infamous laptop.  

“They’re calling it the laptop from hell,” Trump said.

How right he was. The laptop just made an official appearance in federal court this week. More on that shortly.

Journalists are taught to be skeptical of sources with transparent ulterior motives.

That lesson was forgotten by the mainstream media when the New York Post reported on incriminating emails allegedly found on Hunter Biden’s laptop hard drive that could have subverted Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential aspirations. The emails reportedly showed corruption in the Biden family.

Hunter Biden’s scandalous laptop, which was originally dismissed as Russian disinformation by many media outlets, pundits and even liberal allies in the intelligence community, was formally entered into evidence and confirmed by the FBI this week in his ongoing federal gun crime trial. 

The daughter of Hunter Biden has told jurors that her father seemed "great" and "hopeful" around the time he purchased a gun in October 2018.

Naomi Biden, 30, gave surprise testimony in court in her father's gun trial after she was called to the witness stand by his defence team.

She said she did not see her father use drugs at any point in 2018, and that he was living with a sober coach late that year.

An admittedly nervous Naomi Biden, the daughter of Hunter Biden, testified Friday in her father's gun trial.

During the fifth day of the federal Delaware trial, the 31-year-old granddaughter of President Joe Biden was questioned about the truck where Hunter's gun was found, which she had borrowed the same month he had bought a firearm after allegedly lying on federal documents about his drug use.

As Naomi Biden left the courtroom Friday, she gave her father a brief hug and appeared to wipe away tears, before donning dark sunglasses and leaving the building.

It was early one morning in October 2018 when Hallie Biden’s brother-in-law, Hunter, showed up at her home, looking exhausted and like he could have been on drugs, Hallie Biden testified.

As he slept, she quietly cleaned out his truck, where she had sometimes found crack pipes, hoping, she said, “that when he woke back up we could help him start anew,” and get sober.

The truck was strewn with trash and clothes. “I did find some remnants of crack cocaine and paraphernalia,” Hallie Biden told jurors. “Oh, and the gun, obviously.”
