The top House Democrat shrugged off concerns about President Joe Biden commenting publicly about the criminal matters his son Hunter Biden is facing in cases being prosecuted by a special counsel appointed by the Biden administration. During an NBC interview on Sunday, “Meet The Press” guest moderator Peter Alexander asked Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to opine on whether there was any impropriety by the commander in chief ahead of a trial slated to begin this week. Hakeem Jeffries claims it's completely appropriate for Crooked Joe Biden to weigh in publicly on Hunter's criminal trial — which begins tomorrow — because he's commenting "as a loving father" pic.twitter.com/zS1OgR9ehs — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) June 2, 2024 “Let me ask you about another question that we’ll be watching and will make headlines this week. Hunter Biden, the president’s son, goes on trial for gun charges beginning tomorrow. President Biden said last year, quote, “My son has done nothing wrong,'” Alexander said. “The Wall Street Journal, as you see here, the editorial board said at the time, quote, ‘That’s a highly inappropriate message from a president. He’s essentially telling prosecutors that they are wrong to bring an indictment because Hunter is innocent of any criminal behavior.’ Why was it appropriate for President Biden to publicly comment on his son’s case?” Alexander continued. “President Biden commented as a loving father, as I would hope any loving father would do. Hunter Biden of course is entitled, as was Donald Trump, to the presumption of innocence and to a trial by a jury of his peers,” Jeffries responded. He was alluding to the criminal indictments that Trump is trying to fend off as the former president runs for re-election ahead of what may be a 2020 rematch in November against the elder Biden. “And this Justice Department is going to proceed in that fashion, present the facts and the law,” Jeffries added. “And then we’ll all have to wait for a determination that is made by a jury as to Hunter Biden’s guilt or innocence.” Hunter Biden faces two criminal indictments that arose out of the federal investigation into his conduct led by special counsel David Weiss. The first son has pleaded not guilty to gun and tax charges. His gun-related trial is expected to begin this week in Delaware. A jury returned a guilty verdict against Trump on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to allegedly cover up payments in a bid to conceal a tryst with adult film star Stormy Daniels as part of a “catch-and-kill” scheme to influence the 2016 election. Trump, who denied the affair and pleaded not guilty to the charges, said he would be “appealing this scam.” Sentencing is scheduled for July 11.

Former acting ICE Director Tom Homan issued a dire warning late last week about the serious risk to U.S. national security caused by the historic number of illegal aliens entering the United States. Homan made the remarks during a Fox News interview on Saturday while speaking about how President Joe Biden’s open border policies has caused the problem. “Look, I said for a long time, something is coming,” Homan said, warning that an attack was likely to happen. “No one is going to convince me that a single person off the watchlist hasn’t entered this country and not been apprehended. Just in the southern border alone, we are at 370 or so already.” He cautioned that there are “large” sections of the U.S.-Mexico border that are not actively monitored using high-tech equipment like drones and censors. “We do not know how many thousands of people have crossed in areas where we cannot track them,” he said. “It’s probably as big as a 1.6 [million] known gotaways …” WATCH: WATCH: Former acting ICE Director Tom Homan on the security risk that the millions of known gotaways that have flooded across the border pose: “Something is coming.” Homan adds that that there could be just as many unknown gotaways.

Mohammad Kharwin, 48, who illegally entered the U.S. through the southern border, “is a member of Hezb-e-Islami, or HIG, a political and paramilitary organization that the U.S. has designated a terrorist organization,” NBC News reported. The Islamic terrorist group is responsible for killing multiple American soldiers in Afghanistan from 2013 to 2015, according to U.S. officials. The Director of National Intelligence says that Hezb-e-Islami, or “Party of Islam,” is a “virulently anti-Western insurgent group whose goal is to replace the Western-backed Afghan Government with an Islamic state rooted in sharia.” Officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) disputed NBC News’ report that Kharwin was on the terrorist watchlist when he entered the U.S. because there was “not conclusive information” to match him to the list, according to a report from Fox News. The terror suspect spent nearly a year freely roaming the streets of America before he was arrested last month, but he was released again by an immigration judge in the Biden administration’s Department of Justice — who was not told of his terrorist ties. He paid his $12,000 bond, was released, and there were “no restrictions on his movements” inside the U.S., NBC News reported. The case came just a couple months after another bombshell report emerged about an Islamic terrorist with al-Shabaab who roamed the U.S. free for nearly a year. In March 2023, according to an internal federal memo, federal authorities caught a terrorist illegally crossing the southern border, then shortly thereafter released him into the country, where he stayed before he was arrested recently in Minnesota. The terrorist, who was determined in mid-January 2024 to be a “confirmed member of al-Shabaab” by the Terrorist Screening Center, was initially considered a “mismatch” after his name was examined through the terror watchlist, The Daily Caller reported. On January 20, he was caught in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Al-Shabaab was named a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department in March 2008. The group pledged loyalty to al-Qaeda in 2012. According to the Counter-Terrorism Guide for the Director of National Intelligence, “Since 2014 al-Shabaab has killed more US citizens than any other al Qa’ida affiliate, and as of 2022, was its wealthiest component.” Related: DHS Says ‘Privacy Interests’ Of Illegals On Terrorist Watchlist Outweigh Americans’ Right To Know
