Hunter Biden Trial...Guilty!
Hunter Biden has been found guilty on all three charges in his federal gun trial, becoming the first child of a sitting U.S. president to be criminally convicted. Prosecutors said Biden lied about his drug use when he bought a handgun in 2018. Sarah Smith - who has just returned from Delaware where the trial took place - and Justin Webb unpack the evidence and the consequences for President Joe Biden\u2019s re-election campaign.
Also, Justin and Sarah speak to Jill Biden\u2019s former Press Secretary, Michael LaRosa on how the case will be affecting Joe Biden\u2019s inner circle. Could the U.S. president pardon his son?
