Hunter Biden is currently being investigated by Congress and the DOJ and faces a lengthy jail term if he is convicted of any of the charges against him.

A new poll says 18% of them want Trump executed‚ exiled or jailed for life. pic.twitter.com/XlnJbonBM8 — Jesse Watters (@JesseBWatters) December 15‚ 2023 The piece stated‚ “Hunter Biden knows he is in the political crosshairs. In recent conversations with family friends‚ he has worried that he might have to flee the country if Trump were to be elected president again‚ according to two people who have spoken to him.” Lemire noted that Biden’s son “has also worried about the intense scrutiny that his family would face during the 2024 campaign — and went public in recent days with his own concerns about the toll on his father.” The journalist then cited a recent statement that Biden made on musician Moby’s podcast in recent days‚ where he accused GOP lawmakers of “trying to kill me‚ knowing that it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle — and so therefore destroying a presidency in that way.” The younger Biden is the subject of several investigations‚ one being pursued by House Republicans looking to see if his foreign business dealings benefitted his father’s political career. Congress voted Wednesday night to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden over the matter. Biden is also the subject of a federal investigation‚ through which he has already been charged several times. He’s been charged with illegally owning a firearm‚ in addition to tax fraud misdemeanors. Most recently‚ he was charged for failing to pay nearly $200‚000 of income tax in 2019. He brushed off his Congressional deposition this week‚ opting for a press conference outside the Capitol instead.

Despite all the charges they have brought against him since he left the White House‚ President Trump’s popularity is at an all-time high. The 45th President currently leads all Republican challengers in the polls and he is currently ahead of Joe Biden as well. Trump’s campaign got another boost this week when Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin announced his intention to vote for the Republican nominee. Glenn Youngkin praises Trump on economy‚ downplays 'dictator' fears https://t.co/y5lqOttHDm — CNBC (@CNBC) December 14‚ 2023 From CNBC: Virginia Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Wednesday said he would support Donald Trump if the former president is the party’s 2024 presidential nominee. He stopped short of endorsing Trump in the GOP primary‚ where Trump leads the field by more than 45 points.

He ultimately decided against it. Now‚ as Trump racks up endorsements from Republican senators and governors‚ Youngkin remains hesitant to embrace his party’s divisive leader. Trump endorsed Youngkin’s successful run for governor in 2021. Youngkin downplayed concerns that Trump would seek “retribution” if he were handed a second term‚ suggesting history and tradition would insulate American democracy. “We didn’t have kings‚ we didn’t have dictators‚ and God bless George Washington for recognizing that and stepping down after two terms and establishing the role of the presidency‚” Youngkin said. “This is what America was built on‚ and this is what I think America will do going forward.” The former president and current Republican primary front-runner in recent weeks has vowed to be his supporters’ “retribution” and to be a dictator on “Day 1″ if reelected. Asked to respond to Langone’s criticisms‚ Youngkin instead praised Trump for his political results. “I think what we saw during President Trump’s term was that he literally governed in a way that delivered good policy outcomes‚” Youngkin said. “There was a great economy‚ we had a secure border‚ we understood what projecting strength around the world meant. That’s the way he governed before.” Watch the full interview:
